If ever there was a time for a PM ready and able to do the job from day one, this is it.

I believe a strong NATO has been the bulwark of our defence in Europe. Obviously that’s important in the UK national interest and I believe it’s important in the US national interest.

I want to see an open and tolerant society here in the United Kingdom, I want to see a country that works for everyone whatever their background.

Under my leadership the Conservative Party will come back together in the interests of the whole country.

National security is the first duty of government but we are also committed to reversing the substantial erosion of civil liberties.

People need to understand that whatever they see us saying on screen, we are not doing it on our own.

I am not a public speaker and never will be.

What I am anxious to do is to secure my legislation…. What I want to do is to get through that, and if I can point to a record of usefulness of that kind, I am entirely willing to quit office.
