Since January 1993 there have been 27 other countries not in the EU that have done better than the UK at exporting goods into the single market.

Hitler showed the evil that could be done by the art of rhetoric. Churchill showed how it could help to save humanity.

Churchill knew instinctively what was wrong with communism - that it repressed liberty; that it replaced individual discretion with state control; that it entailed the curtailment of democracy, and therefore that it was tyrannous.

Humanity would have plunged into a new dark age of absolutely frightening and appalling characteristics without Churchill.

The next Tory leader would have to unify his party and ensure that Britain stood tall in the world.

Never in my life did I think I would be congratulated by Mick Jagger for achieving anything.
