skills style moments
My speaking style was criticised by no less an authority than Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was a low moment, my friends, to have my rhetorical skills denounced by a monosyllabic Austrian cyborg.
queens cheer fall
It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving picaninnies; and one can imagine that Blair, twice victor abroad but enmired at home, is similarly seduced by foreign politeness. They say he is shortly off to the Congo. No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in Watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird.

I am supporting David Cameron purely out of cynical self-interest.
pms olive-trees mars
My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.
self doubt moments
This is not a time to quail, it is not a crisis, nor should we see it as an excuse for self-doubt. It is a moment of hope.

I love swimming in rivers, and well remember once jumping in at Chiswick.
winning office want
I want to win and I want to be in office.

I am hoping very much to get re-elected but it is going to be a tough fight.
