It will be years - not in my time - before a woman will become Prime Minister

A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure.

I would not wish to be Prime Minister, dear.

I am much nearer to creating one nation than Labour will ever be. Socialism is two nations. The privileged rulers, and everyone else. And it always gets to that. What I am desperately trying to do is create one nation with everyone being a man of property, or having the opportunity to be a man of property.

I will not change just to court popularity.

My first guiding principle is this: willing and active co-operation between independent sovereign states. Europe will be stronger precisely because it has France as France, Spain as Spain, Britain as Britain, each with its own customs, traditions and identity. It would be folly to try to fit them into some sort of identikit European personality.

There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.
