"I will be voting for John Major. He is getting better and better every year. He is very, very good. He now speaks far better than he did. Hes a brilliant speaker. He is learning to be a real leader.

John Major came to lunch with me when he got in. He asked me what he should be doing. I said take England back to what it was.
