"I wasn't going to struggle with someone wearing a huge sword on their hip."

"The Conservative Party have an aim to break up our country. They aim to destroy our NHS and we will say no. We will fight them in the Parliament, we will fight them in the courts, we will fight them in the workplaces and we will fight them in the streets."

"I did not plan to say this, but during the pandemic, my second cousin—a 15-year-old boy—died in a tragic accident of auto-asphyxiation. It devastated the family, as can be imagined, and happened in the pandemic when we were only allowed six people at the funeral. If he had been taught about risky sex acts—he was 15, not a pre-pubescent child—and how to make sure he did things safely, rather than just learning something from the internet that then led to the end of his life, he might still be around and his family might not be devastated. So, actually, because of that personal experience I do have a problem with saying that we should not teach any of this to our children."

"This complaint has had a deep and lasting impact on me and my health, but with this ordeal now over, I am looking forward to putting this year behind me with my reputation restored."

"I genuinely felt that my work was beginning to help shape the potential Labour Government's stance on housing, energy, and climate issues, as well as scrutinising the Cabinet Office and constitutional matters. We were making steady progress. I am disappointed not to have been able to continue this important work."
