I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the intelligence was genuine.

I don't think there Is a way politically to beat "Insurgent Movement Of Populism".

My dad was a militant atheist, or is a militant atheist. My mum was sort of bought up in a religious family because she was a Protestant from Ireland but wasn't especially religious.

I think social media is a revolutionary phenomenon all in itself.

People should go about their daily lives, to work, to live, to travel, to shop, to do the things people did in the same way as they did them before 11 September.

One of the most important things in politics is you've got to keep your mind infinitely curious and alive to what is happening differently.
