I'm not going to do anything that heralds in a Tory government.

I'm not going to be reduced to the position of being the implementer of Tory cuts in the North.

I do not want to see, for any reason, the Tories resurgent in any way.

Sinn Fein will not do Tory austerity.

This government and the party that I lead will continue to argue an alternative to the Tory-Labour austerity.

I'm not going to be known as the Sinn Fein Minister who did the bidding of a Tory administration which is focused on decimating the welfare state.

A Tory government with a decent mandate seems the only hope of tackling the fiscal catastrophe responsibly.

It is clear that my predecessor as First Minister is frightening the life out of the Tories and the Labour Party. Long may it continue.

I won't allow any party to evade the question of which leader they support for prime minister.

The choice between a Labour government and a Tory one is sharpening minds.
