I spend a lot of time visiting local organisations.

I was a postman one Christmas and I developed a morbid fear of dogs.

Gun crime is a major cause of fear and distress throughout the UK. The problem is deeply entrenched in a wide range of social and cultural factors and therefore not an isolated issue.

White people love playing 'divide & rule'. We should not play their game.

Being an MP is a good job, the sort of job all working-class parents want for their children -- clean, indoors and no heavy lifting. What could be nicer?

Outsiders often have an insight that an insider doesn't quite have.

I'm a West Indian mum and West Indian mums will go to the wall for their children.

I'm not the only Labour MP who sent their child to public school but I'm the only one who's questioned about it.

My forebears refused to cut the sugar cane for plantation owners, and I am recognisably a product of that background.

I envy people who write easily. I enjoy the process, but it's not easeful for me.

Now go away then, and leave me alone. I don't want any more of your meretricious persiflage.

Stop. Stop everything. Then you will realize you are the freedom you have been searching for.

Just because you're an atheist, that doesn't mean you wouldn't love for things to have reasons for why they are.

I've been trying to nail it into everyone's heads that I feel like I am the most versatile rapper.

What is there in the vale of lifeHalf so delightful as a wife;When friendship, love and peace combineTo stamp the marriage-bond divine?
