We must do our utmost to preserve our British ally's strategic independence from Europe.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
For the sake of our interests, as well as of our honour and dignity, we were obliged to see that we won for our international policy the same independence that we had secured for our European policy.
The first and most important is to emphasize the enduring nature of the alliance relationship particularly with Europe which does share our values and interests even if it disagrees with us on specific policies.
We must remain steadfast in our commitment to our troops, and to those fighting for a free and democratic Iraq because freedom makes our country and the world a safer place.
Britain is a European power. We cannot change our geography. Our involvement in the politics of European cooperation is one of necessity. Our wealth and our security depend upon it.
We need to restore democracy and sovereignty in Europe.
We have a huge responsibility to make sure that Europe remains a prosperous and peaceful continent.
We want the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union.
We believe that government in Britain should be working to restore our reputation on the international stage after Iraq and engage better within Europe.
Britain must lead in Europe to intensify the fight against global terrorism and make our country safer.
