Quote of the day 27th May 2015

Malcolm Bruce: “If you’re suggesting that every MP who has never quite told the truth, or indeed told a brazen lie [should go], including cabinet ministers, including prime ministers, we’d clear out the House of Commons very fast I would suggest.”

BBC: “You’re saying that lying in public life is widespread?”

Malcolm Bruce: No. Well, yes. I think the answer is lots of people have told lies and you know that to be perfectly true.”
