I believe Mrs. Thatcher's emphasis on enterprise was right.

Our new world rests on order. The danger is disorder. And in today's world, it can now spread like contagion.

In government you carry each hope; each disillusion. And in politics it's always about the next challenge.

Where radical Islamism is going to be a factor, it's going to be very, very tough.

There are big questions about the sort of skills you need in modern government today. You put politicians in charge of billions of dollars with absolutely no training and very little support system around them. It's an extraordinary thing.

There have been the most terrible, shocking events taking place in the United States of America within the last hour or so... I am afraid we can only imagine the terror and the carnage there and the many, many innocent people who will have lost their lives... It is perpetrated by fanatics who are utterly indifferent to the sanctity of human life and we, the democracies of this world, are going to have to come together to fight it together and eradicate this evil completely from our world.

I cannot think of any circumstances in which a government can go to war without the support of parliament.
