  1. “Rather than one then. All right. There will be people. Where you suddenly change the rules, three quarters of the way through a disciplinary process solely to benefit or for that matter to harm a named individual. I mean, that's bonkers.”

  2. “Completely. And that's what they do in Russia. That's what they do. And I know when you had me on the Today program, you raised an eyebrow when I used the word Russia. But it's true.”

  3. “Well, I didn't feel cross, actually. I felt. I'm going to stick with the word mystified. It perplexed me that somebody could make an argument that Owen Patterson had not had a fair hearing and that therefore we had to completely throw the whole process up in the air.”

  4. “No, no, completely not. I mean, I was completely mystified by what the government were up to. I had been predicting that they would just let it all pass because that's what has always happened in the past with every single report from a committee finding that a member of Parliament has been up to no good. So I was completely mystified that Jacob Reese-Mogg gave this 45-minute speech in which he basically tore up all the rules. At the 11th hour, in what is meant to be an independent disciplinary process. So no, I just thought I'm still going to try and persuade people in the chamber. And I think sometimes we as MPs, we go, right, I'm just going to do my rant. I'm going to get it off my chest. I'm going to deliver my single transferable speech. But sometimes you do actually just want to try and persuade everybody you possibly can.”

  5. “So if the house were to vote down or water down the sanction or carry the amendment, it would be endorsing his action. We would be dismantling the rule on paid advocacy, which has been around in some shape or form since 1695. I'm afraid the public would think that we would be the Parliament that licensed cash for questions”
