Johann Lamont

The instinct of the Labour Party is if there's a problem, change the leader, then sit back, fold your arms and wait to be disappointed because they're sure it's not going to deliver.

I didn't particularly want to go to Westminster - not that there were many seats available or chances for women to get elected. In 1987, Labour sent down 50 MPs, and only one of them was a woman.

My biggest ambition is to bring together what happens in the real world with what politicians talk about.

America stands for the land of opportunity.

The American people need no course in philosophy or political science of church history to know that God should not be made into a celestial party chairman.

I feel sorry for generations of Labour voters and supporters who must look and wonder what on earth has gone wrong and what Labour is for.
