And after Brexit, we will be free to determine our economic future, with control over our money, laws and borders.Collection: Money
We're trendsetters, first to welcome brilliant inventions into our lives, from the microwave meal to Instagram. Britain is a nation of Uber-riding, Deliveroo-eating, Airbnb-ing freedom fighters.Collection: Freedom
We want a fully comprehensive trade deal that reflects our deep, ongoing relationship, the friendship between our two countries, the fact that Australians want to come and live and work in Britain, and Brits want to come and live and work in Australia.Collection: Friendship
I have to admit I don't like pizza. I love it. And I am prepared to do literally anything to get my hands on a slice.
When I left university I got a job with Shell on their graduate scheme. One of my roles was as a commercial manager for liquid natural gas shipping, project economics and contract negotiation.
I hate rodents. I mean, the House of Commons is completely infested. I will stand on a chair if I see one of the things.
Parliament should start earlier in the day and finish earlier. Otherwise I love it.
It's almost 10 years since the 2008 crisis, but we all still remember the consequences of ignoring threats to the public finances.
I've been anxious but not depressed. I'm an incorrigible optimist.
I'm a big fan of political editor Allegra Stratton.
Tyrrells crisps are one of the top sellers in France. I don't know if you've tasted crisps in other countries, but I really think British crisps are world leaders. I went to China and they told me there is only one type of potato available there.
Women are not going to start businesses because we tell them we don't have enough people of a certain group. People want to start businesses because it's a way of fulfilling their ambitions and dreams.
I am quite bolshy, sometimes. I like to get my own way, lets put it like that.
In London the average person is paying 50 per cent of their income on rent. Just think how much better off people would feel if that number was a lot lower.
The British brand is so popular particularly in the US that they put the union jack flag on top of beer bottles because it sells.
I'd love the job of Chancellor one day.
If I do feel scared I deliberately challenge myself not to feel scared.
It's absolutely right that we scrutinise the leaders who after all are going to be in a position of great power.
I was interested in the ideas - freedom, free speech and having control of my own life. That's why I became a Tory.
Let's cut the top rates of stamp duty to enable more movement to take place and also looking at the broader tax reform, simplifying our tax system.
Women need to be less squeamish about making money.
I was Margaret Thatcher in the school election during the 1983 General Election.
Maintaining confidence in international trade will be critical to the broader economic recovery in the post-Covid world.
I campaigned for the UK to stay in the European Union but the country chose a different path.
The free market is fundamentally humane and democratic, driven by ideas and millions of individual choices about what to do with our money which defy those who benefit from the status quo.
Brexit has energised millions of people, young and old, to take part in our democracy and that's a great thing.
Nobody wants to be in a room or their business to be funded because they're a woman. They don't want to be discriminated against because they're a woman.
From the coffee bars of Camden to the gin joints of Norfolk - across Britain, a revolution is brewing. And no, it's not John McDonnell's bitter socialist hooch. It's a generation growing up with an entirely different view of the world - free thinking, optimistic and hungry for success.
Our public services and the great people who work in them are improving lives.
I think we've got caught up in the weeds of Brexit, and... the approach has been to try and compromise and split the difference. And that to me is not what Brexit is about.
Britain has always been at its most successful when it's a trading nation.
With Anglo-American capitalism increasingly under attack, those who believe in the power of free markets and enterprise to create wealth and social progress must stand up and be counted and champion our way of life.
I want people to buy British because it's the tastiest food and the most exciting food.
I have been the only female minister in every government department I've worked in.
I think there's a danger in politics of being too risk-averse.
I didn't become a Tory just to become part of a managerial group who wanted to run the country... I want to see popular free-market Conservatism where barriers are broken down, people have got more opportunities but keep more of their own money.
We've been prepared to make the arguments for lowering corporation tax, which is all about encouraging risk takers, encouraging entrepreneurs, and I observe that for the vast majority of the Labour government we had a top rate of 40 per cent income tax. It's now higher, and I think we should look to get to a simpler, lower tax system.
I admire Peter Mandleson's chutzpah and the way he transformed the Labour party but not his dubious ideas about Europe and industrial policy.
Election campaigns always have to have colour and excitement and interest. People want to know about the details of politicians, what they like doing in their spare time, about their families. I think that's human.
If we just had an election which is a kind of desiccated calculation, obviously I think the Conservatives have the best economic plans, but it is about more than that. It is about the overall person.
I love Britain. It really worries me, the prospect of Ed Miliband propped up by Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP and what that could do to our country. It's absolutely right that we highlight to voters that potential risk.
I want Britain to lead the world in food and farming and to do that we need enough productive agricultural land.
I'm very concerned that a lot of our land is being taken up with solar farms.
We have lots of roadside stands in Norfolk where you can just pick up vegetables that people have grown in their garden and put the money in a pot.
We spent a lot of time talking about politics at home. We went to the camp at Greenham Common.
All of my parents' friends worked in public sector jobs. The teachers at my school were quite often card-carrying members of the Labour Party and it just was not part of the culture to approve of what the government was doing.
