The more the UK feels distanced from European construction the less others are able to benefit from the full influence of the many good things that the UK can help us all to achieve, and therefore there are many areas where I think it would be beneficial to have the UK fully at the table.
Rather than standing back and being left behind, we must make the most of the opportunities that a growing China presents to us here in Britain.
What is our task? To make Britain a fit country for heroes to live in.

Britain's great strength is its innovative, design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.
As Tony Blair has made clear, our fundamental challenge is how to make Europe work better.
