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

I'm optimistic that we are actually seeing the opportunity of a generation being created in this.

We are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich.

Europe lacks leadership and a sense of mission and too many people don't feel a part of it.

In my experience of these things, parties which shout about dirty tricks and the like tend to do so because they fear a direct hit in some vulnerable part of their political anatomy.

For too long, decisions have been taken behind closed doors - tablets of stone have simply been past down to people without bothering to involve people, listen to their views or give them information about what we are doing and why.

It's a very good idea that we have a third term Labour government led by Tony Blair for a full term.
