More quotes

In fact this book I've dug up, 'Read My Lips, by Matthew Parris and Phil Mason, is full of interesting quotes.

'The unfortunate and temporary imbalance of our Parliamentary party' - Michael Howard, May 2, 1997.

'He has an exquisite way with words' - Anne (that's how it was spelt back in 1997) Widdecombe on Howard, May 1997.

'I see myself as a quite lake of mystery
Woven in a nebulous mist
Foretelling a flood -
Of coloured happiness
While others build arks
To float mistery'

Poem by John Redwood, 1968.

'Sinn Fein wants you to vote Labour' - Darlington Conservative election leaflet, 1997 (could this have been written by a v.young Peter Cuthbertson?!)
