London is the sporting capital of the world. I say to the Chinese and I say to the world, ping pong is coming home.

I'm a one-nation Tory.

The meat in the sausage has got to be Conservative.

I am supporting David Cameron purely out of cynical self-interest.

I love tennis with a passion. I challenged Boris Becker to a match once and he said he was up for it but he never called back. I bet I could make him run around.

I think it is going to be wonderful. I went to the Paralympics in Beijing and have seen how brilliant the sport is at first hand. People are going to love it. It is going to change people's attitudes to Paralympians and it is going to be a great show.

This is our chance to build a Britain where everyone benefits from the success of the economy.
