A lot of the politics that is going on left and right at the moment is more about a protest, which we should respond to. It's not often about a policy. And that's why what you get is this strange coalition of different views of what the future should be, coming together in alliance to protest against the status quo.

Our task is not to fight old battles, but to show that there is a third way, a way of marrying together an open competitive society and successful economy with a just and decent society.

Our party: New Labour. Our mission: new Britain. New Labour new Britain.

Ideals survive through change. They die through inertia in the face of challenge.

My view is that you still, in order to win from the Labour perspective, have to have a strong alliance with business as well as the unions. You have got to be very much in the centre ground on things like public sector reform.

Society works by putting opportunity and responsibility together.

You've got to listen but you've also got to lead.
