A woman said to me, 'You're better than your successor.' She then said she's lived under 10 prime ministers, and each was worse than the last. That put me in my place.

You don't try and put rockets under prime ministers.

Other prime ministers leave office and stay in London. I have come back with my whole family to Fife. This is where they are being brought up. It is better for them and better for me. It's great to see more of the kids.

Is it fair to treat a woman worse than a man, and then revile her because she is a woman?

Headmasters have powers at their disposal with which Prime Ministers have never yet been invested

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
