I don't think anyone can say I have said one thing in public and done another in private.

And we think that our citizens and yours would be very angry if they thought that we hadnt taken every possible step for prevention and then for joint action in the likelihood of those who threaten our lives and our well- being, taking action at the same time.

I have built my reputation on honesty, I have sometimes been too honest.

We have put over £2bn in the last three years into counter-terrorism and we are developing the electronic border surveillance and identity cards

I personally guarantee that now that bear wouldn't get past Dover without being shot.

It would be dangerous territory if I wasn't practising what I preach which is to always accept responsibility, always accept the consequences of your actions.

None of us believe countering terrorism is about party politics
