Quotes
- “There can be no place in a 21st-century parliament for people with 15th-century titles upholding 19th-century prejudices.”
- “History teaches us these lessons for the interveners: leave your prejudices at home, keep your ambitions low, have enough resources to do the job, do not lose the golden hour, make security your first priority, involve the neighbours.”
