“The very fact Boris Johnson is the favourite to succeed May says everything about how vacuous and morally bankrupt our politics has become.”

“Democracy abhors a vacuum.”

“I have to know more than everyone else in the room. In a roomful of men, I have to know more than them.”

“No longer can a risk to human life be considered subordinate to blind and increasingly discredited ideology.”

“Leaving the E.U. is only the first phase of the Brexiter agenda to shake us free of the laws, rules and rights that many see as a constraint on the implementation of their frighteningly rightwing vision of Darwinian capitalism.”

“I've managed to achieve a lot because I sleep very little. I tend to survive on about four hours a night, but when I'm stressed it's even less.”

“The decisions MPs make as our representatives affect every aspect of our daily lives, from energy bills to the quality of our hospitals, schools and emergency services.”

“As people in business know, if you just sit on your hands and don't progress with the changing environment, you won't reform and improve the existing relationships you have.”

“Our democracy only works when the official opposition does its job of opposing the government of the day and offers a clear alternative vision for our country, including giving a voice to the voiceless.”

“I'm a marketeer, and I thought the message discipline in the Leave campaign was extraordinary.”

“What has struck me about the political world, as opposed to the business world, is that rational discourse has become all but impossible. All too often, arguments are conducted not on the basis of facts but on the basis of emotion - and, honestly, it is no fun being abused in the pages of tabloid newspapers or online.”

“I don't think one moment that we should sink to the levels of the Brexiters - the dodgy money, the electoral lawbreaking and the lying - but I do wonder if those of us who remain deeply concerned about the consequences of Brexit are really landing all the blows that we can.”

“As a country we have more of a political constitution than a legal one, and as such it operates via conventions and precedents.”

“Yes, I believe in parliamentary sovereignty, but irrespective of what the Electoral Commission decides, I am now even more convinced that there must be a people's vote on the Brexit deal, including an option to remain, or remain voters will have good reason to shout foul play.”

“It is one of the most beautiful things about our country that just one individual, so long as he or she has the law on their side, can take on the most powerful institutions or people in the land and win.”

“I come from South America and it's part of our culture to speak out. It's a lot healthier.”

“I didn't realise how much of a personal vendetta Dominic Cummings had against the establishment.”

“I'm afraid I'm a complete workaholic perfectionist.”

“My father was a socialist, so we had some of the most extraordinary people at home.”

“We can and must support our MPs in doing the job they will be elected to do: to hold the government to account in order to do what's best for Britain.”
