William Hague
I don't think my principles change. I think the way in which you apply those principles to modern society changes.
William Hague
Yes, I've never inherited a penny!
William Hague
Unless there is meaningful change in Syria and an end to the crackdown, President Assad and those around him will find themselves isolated internationally and discredited within Syria.
William Hague

William Hague

William Hague
Those who back the Syrian regime from now on will find themselves in an even more isolated and indefensible minority.
William Hague
Egypt is a sovereign nation.
William Hague
How long do Syrian families have to live in fear that their children will be killed or tortured, before the Security Council will act? How many people need to die before the consciences of world capitals are stirred?
William Hague
Well, if you're looking for me to lead a normal representative life, well good luck finding a foreign secretary who'd be like that - totally dependant on the political system and has never earned any money. Then you'll get the politicians you deserve.
William Hague
People feel that the EU is a one-way process, a great machine that sucks up decision-making from national parliaments to the European level until everything is decided at that level.
William Hague
It makes life very simple actually. You could be giving a TV interview in howling gale and it no longer matters.
William Hague
I believe we should reframe our response to climate change as an imperative for growth rather than merely being a way of being green or meeting environmental commitments.
William Hague
It's necessary for Israelis and Palestinians to make the compromises that are required to get the direct talks back on track.
