		RIFKIND: I'm not telling you we are going to be tough, we have already laid down what we believe to be crucial requirements and objectives from the United Kingdom's point of view, and that's not unreasonable, other member states have indicated their priorities, their preferences, that's part of a negotiation.

		But when illness struck and Sir Malcolm Rifkind’s wife Edith was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, many doubted whether the ex-Edinburgh MP would ever feel able to re-enter the rough and tumble of frontline politics.
		Rifkind, who admitted that his wife’s condition was "inevitably a worry", insisted Edith was "determined that she is going to have as normal a life as possible".
		Rifkind also maintains that Portillo’s decision to reveal his past homosexual experiences was "unwise", and could have cost him the leadership of the party in 2001.

		Rifkind’s strategy must be to stay in the race until the party conference and then hope that in the intense media glare the qualities that he brings might shine through.
		Rifkind simply doesn’t have the support or the media clout to mount a viable challenge and a lot of the “contenders” are simply positioning themselves for a decent job post Howard.
		Rifkind is possibly my favourite politician after having seen him at the Cambridge Union making mincemeat of George Galloway a couple of years back, a friend of mine happened to get up to challenge one of his points at one stage and completely forgot what she was going to say.

		Sir Malcolm Rifkind, the former Conservative foreign secretary, said yesterday that western countries should be ready to consider military action against Iran if diplomacy and sanctions fail to curb Teheran's uranium enrichment programme.
		Sir Malcolm said western "carrots" to persuade Iran to co-operate with the United Nations would not be taken seriously by Iranian hardliners unless accompanied by a credible "stick".
		Previewing a speech he will give today, Sir Malcolm said that in return for a "permanent and verifiable renunciation of nuclear weapons, and ceasing work on uranium enrichment", Washington should offer to restore diplomatic relations with Iran and guarantee "that its frontiers would be safe from military attack".
