I get cross about 13 years of Labour government that brought the country to the state it did.

Labour ministers often look puzzled when reports show that Britain has one of the lowest levels of social mobility in the developed world. They just don't get it. They see poverty, inequality, fairness, as all about income. For the past 12 years, they have relied on tax credits to solve this. But tax credits do not solve poverty: they mask it.

The country voted to leave the European Union, and it is the duty of the Government and of Parliament to make sure we do just that.

The Snowden leaks did cause damage.

We campaigned on the fact that we were going to have to take difficult decisions because of the state of the public finances. When we got into government we discovered that actually the public finances were in an even worse state than we thought.

There's much more we can be doing in Parliament, we could be giving more power back to people at local government level, through local referendums.
