Words and little action. That is part of the reason we are where we are. You know that i will take a stand. You saw me take a stand last year. And frankly, it is the only reason why i won my seat at the general election against all the polls and the pundits. The only seat that our party won in the whole of nottinghamshire and derbyshire, because my constituents, to whom i owe so much, knew that i took a stand. Forthem, owe so much, knew that i took a stand. For them, for the country, for the change we need. So, today, let me set out five changes that this new Conservative Party must make.

Israel. How dangerous is this moment . Good evening. Welcome to newsnight. Tonight, are we now on the cusp of a full blown regional war in the Middle East . Iran has launched a Missile Attack on israel this evening which is now over. Earliertoday, israeli troops invaded lebanon. Also, in whats being described as a terrorist attack, at least six people have been killed in Tel Aviv by two gunmen. Just before we came on air i spoke to Shadow Security Minster and conservative Leadership Candidate Tom tugendhat. Well, this is an incredibly dangerous moment.

We need to be defending ourfriends and stand
