We need to remember that we can't compete endlessly with other nations that set their income taxes substantially lower than ours. They will attract jobs, and investment. They may generate more tax - and they may even persuade their tennis champs to run that extra half yard

I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis.

The difference between Hitler's speeches and Churchill's speeches was that Hitler made you think he could do anything Churchill made you think you could do anything.

My speaking style was criticised by no less an authority than Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was a low moment, my friends, to have my rhetorical skills denounced by a monosyllabic Austrian cyborg.

It hasn't taken them long, they began by telling us they would have a positive and patriotic case and they're back to project fear within minutes. There they go again they have nothing positive to say.
