There is nothing people can throw at me to say: Do this, do that.

Too many couples break up without understanding the consequences for their families.

I do not believe the picture that some people paint of Scottish towns dependent on welfare. Every time I come here, I meet people who are determined to get into work. Who, with the right help are desperate to get off benefits, support their family and set an example for their children.

For those who are able to work, work has to be seen as the best route out of poverty. For work is not just about more money - it is transformative. It's about taking responsibility for yourself and your family.

With participation in politics so low at the moment I think Christians should ensure their views are represented at all levels and not leave it to others.

The future of Conservatism lies in our beliefs and values, not by throwing them away. We need to shed associations that bind us to past failures, but hold faith with those things that make us Conservatives.

I think almost every political leader is always told that the next speech they make is the most crucial one.
