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.

After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union.

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.

Today, hundreds of millions dwell in freedom, from the Baltic to the Adriatic, from the Western Approaches to the Aegean. And while we must never take this for granted, the first purpose of the European Union - to secure peace - has been achieved and we should pay tribute to all those in the EU, alongside Nato, who made that happen.

I mean, I'm a conservative. I believe that, you know, if you borrow too much, you just build up debts for your children to pay off. You put pressure on interest rates. You put at risk your economy. That's the case in Britain. We're not a reserve currency, so we need to get on and deal with this issue.

There should be no means of communication which we cannot read.

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.

It's not just other countries in Europe having a say over what we do. It's unelected bureaucrats in Brussels on sort of six-figure, huge salaries telling us how we run our country despite having never stood for an election themselves.

Strong views exist on both sides but I believe MPs voting for gay people being able to marry too, is a step forward for our country.

It [European Union] has kept the peace in Europe. Countries used to fight and now they talk. We should be attached to that.

People are crying out for a Conservative Party that is decent, reasonable, common sense and in it for the long term of this country.

The legacy of Mandela is to have brought the country together... South Africa can be one of the success stories of the 21st century.

When you’re taking the country through difficult times and difficult decisions you’ve got to take the country with you. That means permanently trying to make the argument that what you’re doing is fair and seen to be fair.

We need the Chinese to - you know, spend more, save less - consume more and not be so focused on exports. There are big changes we need in the world.
