Today further EU targeted sanctions on Syria come into force. The message is clear and unambiguous: those responsible for the repression will be singled out and held accountable.

How long do Syrian families have to live in fear that their children will be killed or tortured, before the Security Council will act? How many people need to die before the consciences of world capitals are stirred?

Let's not be afraid to speak the common sense truth: you can't have high standards without good discipline.

It was inevitable the Titanic was going to set sail, but that doesn't mean it was a good idea to be on it.

I don't deny that there are problems in the intelligence world, but I would argue that in the UK we try to uphold the highest standards in the world.

Ambition is best tempered with self-knowledge!

Remember the No campaign is Conservative people, Labour people, people of no party.
