I Reject Absolutely The Idea

Our First Benchmark Is To Cut The Deficit More Quickly To Safeguard Britain’s Credit Rating. I Know That We Are Taking A Political Gamble To Set This Up As A Measure Of Success. Protecting The Credit Rating Will Not Be Easy The Pace Of Fiscal Consolidation Will Be Co-ordinated With Monetary Policy. And We Will Protect Britain's Credit Rating And International Reputation.

There Are Those Who Are Trying To Create An Anti-business Culture In Britain - And We Have To Stop Them. At Stake Are Not Pay Packages For A Few But Jobs And Prosperity For The Many.

The Foreign Office Is A Very Important Arm Of The British State And I Think Britain Has A Fantastic Diplomatic Service. We Are The Only Country In The World Spending 2% Of Our National Income On Defence And 0.7% Of Our National Income On Aid. We Are The Only Country In The World Doing Both Of Those Things.

We Want People To Have A Stake In The British Economy So I Am In Favour Of Actually Encouraging People To Have Small Shareholdings And Feel They've Got A Stake In Our Economic Future.

The Conservative Party Mustn't Sound Like The Old Man On The Park Bench Who Says Things Were Better In 1985, Or 1955, Or 1855.
