As we all know, politics—[Hon. Members: "Apologise."] May I speak? Politics is a much-maligned profession, and it is usually other politicians who do the maligning. May I suggest to the Secretary of State that his constant disparaging remarks about Assembly Members will make it difficult for us to encourage people of calibre of all parties to put their names forward for the next Assembly elections? Is that what he wants?

This really is breathtaking hypocrisy, considering that Mr Price is the one who launched an "impeachment tour" based on the premise that the Prime Minister was a liar. Sounds like "maligning politicians" to me!
