“I never, ever romanticise life in the pit. It was a hard, dirty, noisy, tiring, dangerous job in a confined space, a very dark world with no toilets or running water to drink or wash with.”

“Parliament alone is sovereign.”

“Any of us who wants to go to Parliament must have that responsibility to represent the people who voted us in.”

“I don't want to privatise part of the parliament, like some people in Russia.”
