I'll negotiate with toughness, and with great attention to detail to get the best possible deal for Britain. It's only when we are outside the European Union that we can at last bring those numbers [of migrants] under control in the way that the public want.

In order to be able to reduce migration we need to be outside the European Union.

The British people voted for change.They sent us a clear instruction that they want Britain to leave the European Union and end the supremacy of EU law.

One of the things I know about the European Union is that the European Union can destroy jobs.

My father had a fishing business in Aberdeen destroyed by the European Union and the Common Fisheries Policy, the European Union.

If we leave the European Union, yes there will be bumps in the road, inevitably, but we will be in a better position to deal with them.

In particular, I wanted to help build a team behind Boris Johnson so that a politician who argued for leaving the European Union could lead us to a better future.
