From Hansard, 22/3/06:

Lord Rooker: The past weighs heavily on the future, as I am about to find out.

Jeff Rooker provides the strapline for his own quirky time travel romantic comedy.

Capita

The chairman of Capita has resigned. News that he had lent the Labour party around £14 million had led some to speculate how his hapless, meat-fisted "outsourcing" company had consistently won government contracts, again and again and somehow fucking again. He has quit in response to the "spurious" claims that his loans were connected with Capita's inexplicable success. That is, after all, how you can tell if something is spurious—someone resigns over it.

But the important thing now is to put this behind us and move on. Right, Tony?
