You cannot stop what the public want. The public want two strong women in the final round and then a woman prime minister and I'm absolutely with that.

Can there not be a limit to the fact that really you need to cut your cloth in accordance with what capabilities and finances you have?

Well football teams are perhaps easier to control than political parties, I'm sure the Prime Minister would agree with me, but yeah I think every team needs discipline and a sense of self-belief and that's important, that's what leadership's all about.

All too often, government's response to social breakdown has been a classic case of 'patching' - a case of handing money out, containing problems and limiting the damage but, in doing so, supporting - even reinforcing - dysfunctional behaviour.

Thankfully, due to the United Kingdom and the commitment of the Westminster government we are able to ensure that money brought in, whether it be from the City of London or from North Sea oil, can be pooled and directed to wherever it is needed most.

A good proportion of foreign nationals in jobs in the UK are in semi or low-skilled occupations.

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