I've always said, not giving too much away, I'm a believer in having all your stars on the pitch.

Today the main, over-riding purpose of the European Union is different: not to win peace, but to secure prosperity.

We believe in a flexible union of free member states who share treaties and institutions and pursue together the ideal of co-operation. To represent and promote the values of European civilisation in the world. To advance our shared interests by using our collective power to open markets. And to build a strong economic base across the whole of Europe.

I believe man-made climate change is one of the most serious threats that this country and this world face.

When people's love is divided by law, it is the law that needs to change.

I don't just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too. So I speak as British prime minister with a positive vision for the future of the European Union. A future in which Britain wants, and should want, to play a committed and active part.

The best chapters in our economic history are those that embrace the many, not the few.
