You do have to do business with and to try to influence people you don't agree with, or find disagreeable, so it's important to stress that balance.

The appalling crackdown that we witnessed in Hama and other Syrian cities on 30 and 31 July only erode the regime's legitimacy and increase resentment. In the absence of an end to the senseless violence and a genuine process of political reform, we will continue to pursue further EU sanctions.

The EU should be concentrated on adapting to globalisation and global competitiveness, not building more powerful centralised institutions in Brussels.

Whatever happens in Mogadishu, in Somalia, will happen in Great Britain. We have interlocking interests.

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

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