I have certainly considered options, because everybody considers all options, but that does not mean I necessarily accepted those options. To suggest that at any stage I would move that far from a policy on which I was elected is simply not the case. I certainly am not one of those people who would move that far away from the policies, as indeed other people of the party with which I was elected have done.
