Thought of the Day

With Parliament off for its Summer recess, we believe this thought from a well-known politician is appropriate for today:

"Being an MP is the sort of job all working-class parents want for their children – clean, indoors and no heavy lifting."
Diane Abbott

And in an effort at party balance, we also liked:

"As an MP you only meet two types of people: people with problems and people who are right."
Gyles Brandreth
