Instead of saying that globalization is a fact, that it's inevitable, we've also got to demonstrate that while the growing interdependence of the world economy is indeed a fact, it's not uncontrollable.

We are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich.

The last thing we need is to turn in on ourselves rather than face us up to what we have to do in the world.

If the constitutional treaty is rejected it will be back to square one, just at a time when we want Europe to be a more effective force for good in the world, when we need to buttress ourselves against the pressures and insecurities of globalization.

We've got to demonstrate why European unity and integration, our vast single market, our single currency, equip us with the strength to embrace globalization.

What we have to do is reinvent the idea of Europe.

I'm a fighter, not a quitter.
