Memorable quotes
In October 2004 she became the only Labour MP to openly support the re-election of George W. Bush in that year's US Presidential election, arguing: 'you know where you stand with George and, in today's world, that's much better than rudderless leaders who drift with the prevailing wind.' [4]
