William Hague
  • You do have to do business with and to try to influence people you don't agree with, or find disagreeable, so it's important to stress that balance.

  • The message I take all round the world is Britain is open for business.

  • I gave up lots of things I love doing: writing, and business, and playing the piano and so on.

  • I don't think my principles change. I think the way in which you apply those principles to modern society changes.

  • We have to face the reality of climate change. It is arguably the biggest threat we are facing today.
