I like democracy. I like to be able to throw out my political leaders when they get things wrong, and we don't get to do that with Brussels.

Billions raised, billions spent. No idea where the money has gone. With a record like that the chancellor should be running for treasurer of the Labour Party.

For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone.

It does not seem to me that the steps which would be needed to make Britain - and others - more comfortable in their relationship in the European Union are inherently so outlandish or unreasonable.

I don't want to be Prime Minister of England, I want to be Prime Minister of the whole of the United Kingdom.

No wonder I’d never had any friends. I was shockingly bad at it.

We must speak the truth if we are to be a great nation

You've already put more than enough energy into worry. That's all women have been allowed to do, historically.

The more you give, the more you get - it’s a cliché, but it’s really true.

Life is not so much defined by the external situation as it is by the internal one.

Reason can never be popular. Passions and feelings may become popular, but reason will always remain the sole property of a few eminent individuals.

Champions never complain, they are too busy getting better

Do nice things for people who may be less fortunate than you.
