The thing always is to go to where people really are and what they're really feeling about life.

The public think the politicians don't know or care about their lives and the politicians feel misunderstood.
Tony Blair

After the terrible events of last week, there is still the shock and disbelief there is anger there is fear but there is also, throughout the world, a profound sense of solidarity there is courage there is a surging of the human spirit.
Tony Blair

I think the center ground have got to become the people of change again and not the guardians of the status quo. And that is the weakness it comes to in our campaign. You can see it in your politics, you can see it everywhere.
