As Churchill's grandson, I am in daily receipt of vile correspondence from people telling me that I am a traitor to his memory.

Churchill's career was littered with oratorical disasters when he misjudged the audience.

My job is to be an MP. It's not just about Europe.

I am worried about the Tory party because give or take the odd spasm we have always been seen as pragmatic, sensible, good at our job, sane, reasonable and having the interests of the whole country. Now it is beginning to look like a Brexit sect.

I bridled strongly when Labour introduced their Right to Roam, fearing that it would be misused by the hard Left to stir up unnecessary trouble in the countryside. In fact, greater access to the uplands has been a very good thing.

I think to leave Europe would be a threat on the one hand to our economic security and on the other our national security.

Our freedom, our prosperity and our security depend on a proper respect for the fortune of our neighbours, allies and old friends.

Boris Johnson is nothing like Winston Churchill.

The idea that the British carried out hundreds of war crimes in Iraq is, of course, utterly without foundation and grossly unfair.

It is one thing to go into combat, but quite another to go in with the sapping knowledge that what you do in the next few chaotic minutes or hours in the name of your mates, your regiment, your country, might also see you dragged into court.

I think Churchill would have thought it extraordinary that we would have thought ourselves so successful, so powerful, so well thought of in the world that we could afford to give up this extraordinary relationship we have in this great European Union.

Boris Johnson's experience in life is telling a lot of porkies about the European Union in Brussels and then becoming prime minister.
