The British people think that if someone is disabled, then they should get all the care and support that we can offer.

I am actually quite encouraged and I think, actually, the UK is coping with globalisation a lot better than most other European countries. And that is reflected in the fact that (whilst of course there are people who are still unemployed) our unemployment rate is low and (whilst of course we need to export more) we are attracting a huge amount of inward investment into Britain.

The foundations of a strong economy don't rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government.

If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.

Why don't we save and invest in our future and start making the things that millions of Chinese consumers are going to want in the future.

I think Britain needs to get out there on the world stage and make itself heard. And for much of my political career, there has been a sense of retreat from the world stage because of what happened in the Iraq War.

Establishing proper economic governance that allows the Eurozone to undertake the integration it needs whilst protecting the interests of the single market for all 28, the rights of member states who are not in the Euro - including of course the UK - is really important for the future of the European Union.
