Me Quotes
Quotes rooted in the first person.

I think part of the thing that is important to me, and is important to Labour supporters, is that the fight goes on.

No one is going to persuade me that eight people arriving in South Shields is going to overwhelm the local system. I think that 25,000 refugees would be more in line with the U.N. That would be a substantive contribution.
