We haven't been looking at a no-fly zone
William Hague tends to restrict himself to comments like 'unhelpful'. Nick Clegg's probably gone further than many British politicians who hold government office
Ed Miliband is still trying to define himself. His speeches are aimed at convincing his own party - not at attacking us. He's in a similar position to that of William Hague .

We can say now, on the basis of the information available to us, that all the British nationals involved are accounted for and are safe.
I wasn’t surprised ... I didn’t think we would get anywhere. But I have asked William Hague to take this further — on behalf of other riders.
We do have contingency plans for a variety of events that may happen in the euro zone over the coming months ... That doesn't mean we believe all these things are going to happen. Some of the press reports ... were rather exaggerated ... Nevertheless, we are prepared for all eventualities.
I hope they [the Arab League] will come to the UN and suggest a way forward that we can all get behind
We have never ruled anything out. We have not ruled out any option, or supporting any option. We believe all options should be on the table, that is part of the pressure on Iran, but we are clearly not calling for or advocating military action
I hope we're at a stage where we can say a long-held dream now has a chance of being realised, but there's so much work to be done. The long darkness in which the people of this country have lived may be coming to an end
