Quote

The biggest danger to the European Union comes not from those who advocate change, but from those who denounce new thinking as heresy. In its long history, Europe has experience [with] heretics who turned out to have a point.

Warm congratulations to my friend Barack Obama. Look forward to continuing to work together.

I know that the United Kingdom is sometimes seen as an argumentative and rather strong-minded member of the family of European nations. And it's true that our geography has shaped our psychology. We have the character of an island nation - independent, forthright, passionate in defence of our sovereignty.

I am not a British isolationist. I don't just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too.

You do not have to be an economist to know that putting up the cost of employing someone is a pretty barking thing to do when you're trying to get out of a recession.

I think it was right to remove Saddam Hussein. I think it was the right decision then and I still think it was right now.

What Churchill described as the twin marauders of war and tyranny have been almost entirely banished from our continent. Today, hundreds of millions dwell in freedom, from the Baltic to the Adriatic, from the Western Approaches to the Aegean.

Today, hundreds of millions dwell in freedom, from the Baltic to the Adriatic, from the Western Approaches to the Aegean.

The best chapters in our economic history are those that embrace the many, not the few.
David Cameron

Complex rules restricting our labour markets are not some naturally occurring phenomenon. Just as excessive regulation is not some external plague that's been visited on our businesses.
David Cameron
Image
There's another way we are getting behind business - by sorting out the banks. Taxpayers bailed you out. Now it's time for you to repay the favour and start lending to Britain's small businesses again.
David Cameron
Image
Cap the well, yes, clear up the mess, yes, make compensation, yes absolutely. But would it be right to have legislation that independently targets BP rather than other companies? I don't think that would be right.
David Cameron
Image
I think the prospect of bringing back grammar schools has always been wrong and I've never supported it. And I don't think any Conservative government would have done it.
David Cameron

More of the same will just produce more of the same - less competitiveness, less growth, fewer jobs.

Humanitarian goods and people must flow in both directions. Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp.
David Cameron
Image
I like democracy. I like to be able to throw out my political leaders when they get things wrong, and we don't get to do that with Brussels.

If Donald Trump came to visit Britain I think he would unite us all against him.

We must consider teaching the Egyptian revolution in schools.
David Cameron

Britain is characterised not just by its independence but, above all, by its openness. We have always been a country that reaches out. That turns its face to the world.

I have no time for those who say there is no way Scotland could go it alone. I know first-hand the contribution Scotland and Scots make to Britain's success - so for me there's no question about whether Scotland could be an independent nation.
