I think I have gone through my entire public career never telling a lie. I have made mistakes but I never knowingly lied.

I fear that within 10 years gays, trade union activists and left wing politicians will be led off to the gas chambers.

I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.

Yes, there are lots of individual exceptions. But no one has ever done a study about voting intention without ascertaining that the biggest determining factor is your income and your wealth.

I've always told the truth. I've often been wrong - but I've never knowingly lied. Not in public life. Because I don't see the need to.

Every budget I have ever prepared has been balanced.

I've always been a workaholic. I reckon, on average, I've had less than one day a year off in my working career.
