Well, I have concerns about the effectiveness of Europe to compete.

I think it's extremely unlikely that the European Union will fracture with nations dropping off the edge.

Disunity costs votes.

A country of long shadows on county cricket grounds, warm beer, green suburbs, dog lovers, and old maids cycling to holy communion through the morning mist.

If you look back historically, admittedly a long time ago, there were three Afghan wars in which Britain didn't even come a good second. In more recent years the Russians were there with 120,000 men for ten years.

Too many people looked to me in the eye and did not tell me the truth.

In the next ten years we will have to continue to make changes which will make the whole of this country a genuinely classless society.
