I've gained enormous political benefit and, I might add, personal kudos for leading the world out of the downturn caused by subprime lending in the USA.
I will probably be the first western leader to be accorded a state visit to the White House to meet President Obama.
The polls are showing a strong recovery for the Labour party, and so I can see a long extension on the horizon.
I have been prudent during my life and amassed a small fortune. I need never work again, but it is a mark of my determination to serve the British people that I would not desert them when there is so much more to do.

No smug for me - except last year I spent 11 months on the highest rate ever and so that has supplied my warchest for this year and the next.
Just really taking each day as it comes right now and relaxing.
