I want to see genuine talent rewarded.

I find China such a fascinating and interesting country. Each time I come back something has changed and it's moved on in leaps and bounds.

I think we woefully failed to connect Britain to the growing Chinese economy in the previous decade, and I have sought to remedy that. China is now the sixth biggest trading partner with the UK. We have attracted now the lion's share of Chinese investment that is going into Europe.

I believe that I'm entitled to regard my pre-political life as off-limits in terms of what can be looked at and judged.

People know that billions of pounds are wasted. Billions of pounds never get near the families that need it. It is an absolute outrage that hard-working people go out to work every day, get up early, come back late, don't see enough of their families in order to pay taxes to fund vast bureaucracies that are inefficient in order to fund a welfare system which allows too many people to sit for the whole of their lives on out-of-work benefits without going out to look for work.

Britain should not be forced to make a choice between joining the single currency and leaving the EU, because if we're forced to make that choice we would leave the EU.

The Conservative party, the modern Conservative party, is on the side of people who want to work hard and get on.
