Britain is characterised not just by its independence but, above all, by its openness. We have always been a country that reaches out. That turns its face to the world.

I intend to end the something for nothing culture

It's time we admitted that there's more to life than money, and it's time we focused not just on GDP, but on GWB - general well-being.

The murders in Paris are sickening, we stand with the French people in the fight against terror and defending the freedom of the press.

There should be no "means of communication" which "we cannot read".

All those countries who keep their aid promises should be proud of what they've done
