We need Britain not only to stay in the E.U. but to be very active in it.

We want the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union.

You can suddenly have a series of countries waking up and saying, 'I want the same status as the Brits,' which will be, de facto, the dismantling of the rest of Europe.

Although I don't have anything against people from other countries, the higher the influx into England the more the British identity disappears.

I don't want a tailor-made approach where the British have the best of two worlds. That will be too big an incentive for others to leave and kill the European idea, which is based on shared responsibilities.

The UK is not going to leave the European Union. Of course not. We are inextricably wound up with Europe. In terms of culture, history and geography, we are a European nation.

I hope Britain stays in the European Union, but I don't want to decide for the British.

I do not want Britain to turn its back on Europe or the rest of the world.

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

We remain united with the British, and our allies around the world, in our resolve to defeat terrorism and bring those who commit these acts to justice.
