I think it's important to do a good job and not to feel that you've got to make grand gestures, but just to get on and deliver.

The internet makes it much easier for politicians to communicate directly with voters - think of the interest when David [Cameron] launched WebCameron, or Tony Blair's rather embarrassing attempt to catch up on YouTube.

Under my leadership the Conservative Party will come back together in the interests of the whole country.

We should no longer seek to have Budget surplus by end of Parliament. We should avoid tax rises.

We're getting rid of bureaucracy, so that we're releasing time for police officers to be crime fighters and not form writers.

On gay adoption I have changed my mind.

These modern means of communication are one reason why I recently opposed the Government's decision to grant MPs a new communications allowance. With new technology giving us the opportunity to communicate directly with voters very cheaply, why did Labour MPs vote for a £10,000 allowance to tell voters what a good job they do?
