I think Britain can be one of the great success stories of the 21st century - we've got the talent, the drive, the connections around the world. But if we vote to Leave, then we lose control. We lose control of our economy, and if you lose control of your economy you lose control of everything. That's not a price worth paying.

David Cameron's approach has left Britain weakened and weary because to retreat from the world is as foolish as it is futile.

The era of industrial Britain, where a large section of our workforce provided cheap labour in factories and processing goods, is over.

You know the illusion of the cheap money is over and now Britain has to go out there and graft and earn its way and create wealth and prosperity in a very competitive world.

In the span of a human lifetime, and well within the collective memory, Britain went from a stable imperial power ruling an appreciable fraction of the Earth's surface to being a tumultuous patchwork which was at least superficially in decline.

Obsolescence never meant the end of anything, it's just the beginning.

The global economy is spluttering back into life. The Tories would have left it to choke to death.

The idea of England in decline is very attractive.

We are not quitters. Britain has always gone out there; we have probably been more influential than any other country in shaping our world and the way it has thought about itself, the way we interact as nations.
