I never hugged him, I bombed him.

We are not in politics to ignore peoples' worries, we are in politics to deal with them.

There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it.

I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.

I was turned out because I said to Europe no, no, no. That no, no , no has now turned into yes, yes. Two yes's not three because he got the Social Chapter out and he's reserved his position on the single currency.

We have made too much of one or two people, and we think that they can win or lose elections for us. Don't be depressed if one particular person transgresses. It doesn't lose an election unless the Party loses faith in itself.

I will not stagger from expedient to expedient.
