Quotes
[edit]- Politics still matters, as does leadership, vision and statecraft. By sheer will-power, Boris Johnson and his advisers have delivered a radically better deal for Britain, forcing the EU's technocratic juggernaut into a screeching u-turn. It can't be done, we were told, ad nauseam, and yet Johnson delivered, proving that he is, in fact, a statesman.
- "All Eurosceptics should back this deal - this is as good as it gets", The Telegraph (17 October 2019).
- We will never fully recover from our long, debilitating membership of the EU.
- But it's not just that we should never have joined: the EU should have kept us out for its own good.
- "Our time in the EU was a calamity for Britain and a disaster for Europe", The Telegraph (9 December 2020)
- There is a new nasty party, and it isn’t the Tories. Our declinist-Remainer class has outdone itself, demonising and dismissing Liz Truss, and working itself up into a frenzy of self-righteous rage and indignation at the supposed incompetence of her new Government. Even for those inured to the extreme tribalism and coarseness of modern political discourse, the insults, double-standards and prejudice have been something to behold.
I'm optimistic about the Truss Government. Yes, of course, nobody can possibly know how well it will do – whether it will outwit the Blob to push through genuine improvements. But it is absurd to state, almost as self-evident fact, that it is bound to collapse, that it cannot last even two years [until the next general election.]- "Britain's declinist Remainer elite is about to be humiliated" The Telegraph (7 September 2022).
- This was the best Budget I have ever heard a British Chancellor deliver, by a massive margin. The tax cuts were so huge and bold, the language so extraordinary, that at times, listening to Kwasi Kwarteng, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, that I hadn’t been transported to a distant land that actually believed in the economics of Milton Friedman and FA Hayek.
But Liz Truss and Kwarteng are very much for real, and in revolutionary mood.- "Kwasi Kwarteng's Budget is a moment in history that will radically transform Britain" The Telegraph (23 September 2022)
