My job is to stop Britain from going red.

The accumulation of wealth is a process which is of itself morally neutral. True, as Christianity teaches, riches bring temptations. But then so does poverty.

In a system of free trade and free markets poor countries - and poor people - are not poor because others are rich. Indeed, if others became less rich the poor would in all probability become still poorer.

People think that at the top there isn't much room. They tend to think of it as an Everest. My message is that there is tons of room at the top.

Some Socialists seem to believe that people should be numbers in a State computer. We believe they should be individuals. We are all unequal. No one, thank heavens, is like anyone else, however much the Socialists may pretend otherwise. We believe that everyone has the right to be unequal but to us every human being is equally important.

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

Dictators can be deterred, they can be crushed - but they can never be appeased.
