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

I think we've, again, got to be extremely careful; otherwise we'll misunderstand what's going on in Iraq and in Syria today. Of course, you can't say that those of us who removed Saddam in 2003 bear no responsibility for the situation in 2015.

Moreover, for decades we have been prone to far greater swings in the economic cycle than our continental counterparts. It has been boom and bust....Under this Government, there is an entirely new framework for economic management in place.

Every so often, I feel I should graduate to classical music, properly. But the truth is, I'm more likely to listen to rock music.

Saddam was a threat, that the threat had to be dealt with.

Fanaticism is not a state of religion but a state of mind.
