There's a couple things you don't talk about in life, and that's race, religion and politics. I try to make sure I don't talk about politics at all.

Good thing we've still got politics in Texas - finest form of free entertainment ever invented.

I never saw anything funnier than Texas politics.

The TUC's new slogan 'a future that works' sets a profound challenge. Austerity and rapid deficit reduction is failing in its own terms, but even at its best it is short-sighted, muddle-through politics with no vision of a new economic model.

Politics is very interesting and always leads to conflict.
