London is a fantastic creator of jobs - but many of these jobs are going to people who don't originate in this country.

Some people play the piano, some do Sudoku, some watch television, some people go out to dinner parties. I write books.

[People] are woefully underestimating this country and what it can achieve.

Volunteering is also now more crucial than ever in helping people find work.

Churchill decides from very early on that he will create a political position that is somehow above left and right, embodying the best points of both sides and thereby incarnating the will of the nation. He thinks of himself as a gigantic keystone in the arch, with all the lesser stones logically induced to support his position. He has a kind of semi-ideology to go with it - a leftish Toryism: imperialist, romantic, but on the side of the working man.

We did everything we could to break down barriers that restrain poorest.

I love swimming in rivers, and well remember once jumping in at Chiswick.
