Strong views exist on both sides but I believe MPs voting for gay people being able to marry too, is a step forward for our country.

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.

Simply asking the British people to carry on accepting a European settlement over which they have had little choice is a path to ensuring that when the question is finally put - and at some stage it will have to be - it is much more likely that the British people will reject the EU.

Nelson Mandela was a towering figure in our time; a legend in life and now in death - a true global hero.

If we left the European Union, it would be a one-way ticket, not a return. So we will have time for a proper, reasoned debate. At the end of that debate you, the British people, will decide.

I want the European Union to be a success. And I want a relationship between Britain and the EU that keeps us in it.
