We are entering an era in which national government, instead of directing, enables powerful regional and local initiatives to work, where Britain becomes as it should be - a Britain of nations and regions.

I am happy for there to be a leadership contest. I think there should be.

Britain should be the world's number one center for genetic and stem cell research, building on our world leading regulatory regime in the area.

Britain and Pakistan will jointly fight the menace of terrorism .. Both the countries are facing a common threat of terrorism and we know that Pakistan is even more committed to fighting this menace

...the world needs to face up to the challenge of climate change, and to do so now. It is clear that climate change poses an urgent challenge, not only a challenge that threatens the environment but also international peace and security, prosperity and development. And as the Stern report showed, the economic effects of climate change on this scale cannot be ignored, but the costs can be limited if we act early

Think for a moment: what is the British equivalent of the U.S. Fourth of July, or even the French 14th of July for that matter?

Britain can be proud of its response to the tsunami appeal.
