“The situation in Greece just goes from bad to worse. We’ve now got a situation where there was the big suicide a few weeks ago, where a 77-year-old man shot himself in the head outside the Greek Parliament. That was the public face of what’s gone wrong.”

Rather than bring peace and harmony, the EU will cause insurgency and violence.

Greece isn’t a democracy now it’s run through a troika – three foreign officials that fly into Athens airport and tell the Greeks what they can and can’t do.

I have been unsure, from the start, what the Occupy movement was all about, although I did suspect that it was just fatuous, anti-enterprise, left-wingery.

We do have, I’m sad to say, a fifth column that is living within our own countries that is utterly opposed to our values, we’re going to have to be a lot braver… in standing up for our Judaeo-Christian culture.

It’s about businesses nervous about taking on school leavers because of a mass of red tape. It’s about health and safety regulations and green fines.

The EU is mired in deep structural crisis. Greece, Portugal and Ireland cannot survive inside the Euro.

While we’re members of the European Union, we don’t have an immigration policy. We can’t have an immigration policy. It’s a charade for people to pretend we do.

No deals with the Tories; it’s war.

The banking collapse was caused, more than anything, by bad government policy and the total failure of bad regulation, rather than by greed.

It’s amazing how ideas start out, isn’t it?

Maybe this will be the beginning of a trend? Flat taxes, cutting foreign aid, a referendum on Europe, grammar schools. Who knows?

I think frankly when it comes to chaos you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Perhaps our own opposition to even the level of European integration we have now, let alone any more, is well known.

I’ve got to see the Brexit process through. We’ve won the war but we must win the peace.

Before, Europe was about treaties, laws and our sovereign right to govern ourselves. Now, it’s about everyday lives.

Its hardly a radical idea to suggest that regulators and legislators understand the law now, is it?

When I entered federal parliament at the end of 2007, I was appointed parliamentary secretary for disabilities.

In England Parliament is above the law. In America the law is above Congress.

Parliament should start earlier in the day and finish earlier. Otherwise I love it.

We all know what Parliament is, and we are all ashamed of it.

The idea that Parliament somehow wasn’t going to be able to discuss, debate, question issues around (Brexit) was frankly completely wrong.

We should no longer seek to have Budget surplus by end of Parliament. We should avoid tax rises.

I know I’m not a showy politician. I don’t go drinking in parliament’s bars. I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve, I just get on with the job in front of me and you can judge me by my record.

I look forward to continuing the debate about Britain’s future – in Parliament and across the country.
