  • The people of Scotland have spoken

    DAVID CAMERON The people of Scotland have spoken. It is a clear result. They have kept our country of 4 nations together. Like millions of other people, I am delighted. As I said during the campaign, it would have broken my heart to see our United Kingdom come to an end. And I know that…

  • Countdown to the Scottish Referendum

    DAVID CAMERON We meet in a week that could change the United Kingdom forever. Indeed, it could end the United Kingdom as we know it.

  • Speech to the UN

    DAVID CAMERON Good afternoon. Nine months ago, here in New York, the UN Secretary General gave President Johnson Sirleaf, President Yudhoyono and me a challenge, and that was to define the world’s response to development and poverty for the next generation. This meeting has been the culmination of that process, and it’s been great to…

  • Tribute to Margaret Thatcher

    DAVID CAMERON Today we lost a great leader, a great Briton, and a great Conservative. A lot of things will be written about Lady Thatcher in the days and weeks to come, but for me one thing stands out above all other: her passionate belief in Britain. As she once said: «for the Conservative Party…

  • Europe’s speech

    DAVID CAMERON This morning I want to talk about the future of Europe. But first, let us remember the past.

The skies of London lit by flames…

  • Speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos

    DAVID CAMERON We meet today at a perilous moment for economies right across Europe. Growth has stalled. Unemployment is rising. The prospect of Europe getting left behind is all too apparent. While China grows at 8%, India at 7% and Africa at 5.5%, the European Commission forecasts the EU will grow by just 0.6 per…

  • The right thing for Britain

    DAVID CAMERON I said before coming to Brussels that if I couldn’t get adequate safeguards for Britain in a new European treaty, then I wouldn’t agree to it. What is on offer isn’t in Britain’s interests, so I didn’t agree to it. Let me explain why this matters. Of course, we want the eurozone countries…

  • Speech on Immigration

    DAVID CAMERON Thank you very much, Andrew, for that introduction and thank you for the welcome to the Institute for Government. We’re enjoying working with you, particularly on education policy where you did so much under the last government to advance the cause of academy schools and independents within the state sector, something this government…

  • Leadership for a better Britain

    DAVID CAMERON This week, in Manchester, this party has shown the discipline, the unity, and the purpose that is the mark of a party of government. I’m proud of my team, I’m proud of our members, I’m proud to lead this party – but most of all, I’m proud of you. People have very clear…
