I am not a British isolationist. I don’t just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too.
I think in any organisation it’s right to set out what you stand for, what you’re fighting for and bring that together in one document so that people can see that the modern compassionate Conservative Party is in it for everybody – not just the rich.
We’re all agreed that climate change is one of the greatest and most daunting challenges of our age. We have a moral imperative to act and act now.
I’ll be explaining that Britain will be leaving the European Union, but I want that process to be as constructive as possible. And I hope the outcome can be as constructive as possible because of course while we’re leaving the European Union, we mustn’t be turning our backs on Europe.
Britain is characterised not just by its independence but, above all, by its openness. We have always been a country that reaches out. That turns its face to the world...
I want to talk about the internet, the impact it is having on the innocence of our children, how online pornography is corroding childhood and how, in the darkest corners of the internet, there are things going on that are a direct danger to our children, and that must be stamped out.
I am Conservative to the core of my being, as those who know me best will testify.
People are crying out for a Conservative Party that is decent, reasonable, common sense and in it for the long term of this country.
We are a great country, and whatever choice we make we will still be great. But I believe the choice is between being an even greater Britain inside a reformed EU or a great leap into the unknown.
No treaty should be ratified without consulting the British people in a referendum.
Today the main, over-riding purpose of the European Union is different: not to win peace, but to secure prosperity.
We all say in our own lives that money isn’t everything. Love matters, friendships matter. My relationship with my kids matters. It shouldn’t be a giant leap to take that thought and introduce it into political dialogue.
What you call austerity is what I might call efficiency.
Just as I believe that Britain should want to remain in the EU so the EU should want us to stay.
We have put our country on solid ground, but let me tell you: The next five years are much, much more important. The next five years are about turning the good news in our economy into a good life for you and your family.
Easter is all about remembering the importance of change, responsibility, and doing the right thing for the good of our children.
All those countries who keep their aid promises should be proud of what they’ve done.
I’m all for apprenticeships, but this is no time for a novice.
I mean UKIP, I mean it’s just a sort of, you know, bunch of fruitcakes and loonies and closet racists, basically.
I think the prospect of bringing back grammar schools has always been wrong and I’ve never supported it. And I don’t think any Conservative government would have done it.
