Russian Parliament today is a bunch of puppets that just fall in with the instructions from Kremlin.

Nothing more threatens Vladimir Putin than not being able to track his own citizens.

People have become disillusioned with Parliament, and that threatens democracy.

This Government has found occasion to express, in a friendly spirit, but with much earnestness, to the Government of the Czar, its serious concern because of the harsh measures now being enforced against the Hebrews in Russia.

There has been growing quite a strain of irritating feeling between our government and the Russians and it seems to me that it is a time for me to use all the restraint I can on these other people who have been apparently getting a little more irritated.

I don't want to privatise part of the parliament, like some people in Russia.

As a member of Congress, I am part of a large group of elected officials who remain clear-eyed about the threat emanating from Tehran.

It is important that politicians defend their ability to act without fear or favour, and it is in the public interest that they hold ministers and public servants to account.

We've been saying Putin is a dictator for years who doesn't care about the law.

We have an integrated picture of the threat from outside and from within that is provided not only to our foreign ministers but also to our justice and interior ministers.
