In war and in peace, in prosperity and times of economic hardship, America has no better friend or more dependable ally than the United Kingdom.

People in the United Kingdom and outside the United States share my bemusement with the United States that America doesn't share with itself.

No one can truly be prepared for such devastation and pure malevolence, but the United Kingdom can always look to the United States as an ally resolved to stand firm in the war on terrorism.

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

I happen to belong to that group opinion which holds the break-up of the United Kingdom to be imminent.

There is a real danger of the United Kingdom breaking up. There is a loss of common identity.
