I keep telling my Tory colleagues: don't have any policies. A manifesto that has policies alienates people. In 1979 the manifesto said nothing which was brilliant.

In the end leaders are leaders. They get the credit and they get the blame.

Mrs Thatcher was not lightly bullied.

I can foresee no circumstance in which I would allow my name to be put forward for the leadership of the Conservative Party.

They say a man should be judged by his enemies. I am very proud of mine.
