I can only go one way. I've not got a reverse gear.

In 1997, we faced daunting challenges. Boom and bust economics..... Now, for all that remains to be done, dwell for a moment on what has been achieved.

I think most people who have dealt with me think I'm a pretty straight sort of guy, and I am.

As I have said throughout, I have no doubt that they will find the clearest possible evidence of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction.

No one is to blame for the breakdown in trust between politics, media and the public.

Stirring is OK. It just depends what happens in the end.

The public think the politicians don't know or care about their lives; and the politicians feel misunderstood.
