Soundbyte 2

Soundbyte:	I've said I'll stand for a full second term [as Prime Minister]. But I think after that it will be time for new leadership. Terms are like Shredded Wheat - two are wonderful but three might just be too many.

About:	Himself
Topic:	Politics
Said What?:	Political pundits have already started asking 'who will be the next Conservative leader?' after Cameron set a shelf life on his Prime Ministerial ambitions.

Soundbyte 3

Soundbyte:	I've lost words to describe how England played. That was pathetic. It was always going to happen but there's a way to lose. What really disappointed me was when England won at The Oval, everyone was out there - the players, the backroom team. When you lose, you lose as one. Not one of the backroom team was out there today.

Soundbyte 4

Soundbyte:	The atmosphere during the last hour in Brisbane was as hostile as I have experienced. I have absolutely no problem about any of what the Australians were doing on the field, I probably dish it out more than most in the field, so I generally get it back more than most. I expect it and accept it.

Soundbyte 5

Soundbyte:	We've one man to thank for tonight's result and that's Gareth Bale. He's the difference and his wonder goals are continuing. I can't say I've ever seen anyone score so many in such a short time. I think that's the best of the lot, and there's not a lot you can do about it at that stage of the game.

Soundbyte 6

Soundbyte:	It's unthinkable that someone earning four times more than the Prime Minister has not got ideas for the shake-up of the sport. The LTA is one of the wealthiest sporting organisations in the country and it's my honest and genuine opinion that they are useless.

Soundbyte 7

Soundbyte:	I'm really proud for the boy. That was a real test of a champion for me. I love watching tennis. It was more nerve-wracking than a Premier League match. I'm usually in control of my own situation but I wasn't in control tonight.

Soundbyte 8

Soundbyte:	They tend to deal in caricatures ... it takes something that has a tiny kernel of truth in it, perhaps, and stretches it far beyond where it can honestly go.

Soundbyte 9

Soundbyte:	It's a great privilege to be involved. I can't quite believe people have actually turned up, I thought I would be just be carrying it around, waving to the ducks.

Soundbyte 10

Soundbyte:	These boys can be regarded as being as successful as the 1970s side - three Grand Slams since 2005 is fantastic. I think there was a mental and physical turning point in the World Cup and they have built on it.
