I am happy to debate the past with the Prime Minister... I have a big dossier on his past, and I did not even have to sex it up.

We cannot possibly take them all into this country [asylum seekers] - it is a completely unrealistic expectation.

We must rediscover the habit of thinking the best of each other

What is Parliament for if it is not to be a means to make ministers accountable for the services for which they are responsible.

There is only one opinion poll that I am interested in and that is the one that will take place on election day.

I will never stand again for the leadership of the Conservative Party.

History is what we read, write and think about the past.
