I support giving President Obama the ability to negotiate and complete new trade agreements with some of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

I am not a professional politician.

We have to start grounding our policies in facts and recognize that a strong economy is critical for funding progressive priorities.

America traditionally represents the greatest possibility of someone's going from nothing to something. Why? In theory, if not practice, the government stays out of the way and lets individuals take risks and reap rewards or accept the consequences of failure. We call this capitalism - or, at least, we used to.

We can and must support our MPs in doing the job they will be elected to do: to hold the government to account in order to do what's best for Britain.

We have never really had absolute privacy with our records or our electronic communications - government agencies have always been able to gain access with appropriate court orders.

I trust the regulatory mechanism; it is a fair and independent mechanism, and the politicians and government do not interfere with the regulators.
