I love the walk although my security team weren't too sure to begin with but I was anxious to be able to lead a near normal life. Whilst walking I do get the chance to meet people and keep in touch.

I have always been honest about my recollection of events.

Solidarity and interdependence, a sense of worth, a pride and hope in the future: these are positive gains for those who believe in progressive politics and the beneficial role of government, rather than a detriment.

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

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 did not in late November start the plethora of linking my private life with public events again.

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