Examine the legacy that we inherited and what we did. We had boom-and-bust economics and a doubled national debt.

In Downing Street they called me 'Boss'. Civil servants would always call me 'Prime Minister'.

I think people think their incomes have been flat lining for a long period of time. They feel that the next generation's opportunities are not going to be improvement. So and I also think that social media then allows insurgent movements to gain scale at speed.

I do not want to end up with an American style of politics, with us going out there beating our chest about our faith. Politics and religion - it is not that they do not have a lot in common, but if [religion] ends up being used in the political process, I think that is a bit unhealthy.

The first big choice: a government with the strength to deliver stability, or a government that takes the country back to boom and bust.

I think the people like myself who are in the center ground of politics and who think that center left and center right can cooperate and work together. Who don't like this sort of insurgent populism because we think it's not really going to deliver for the people, I think there's a big responsibility on us in the center to get our act together. And to work out radical but serious solutions to the problems people face.

The thing always is to go to where people really are and what they're really feeling about life.
