Theresa May
There's much more we can be doing in Parliament, we could be giving more power back to people at local government level, through local referendums.

My pitch is very simple. I'm Theresa May and I think I'm the best person to be prime minister of this country.Collection: Country
I want to put the interests of ordinary working people right up there, center stage. Those people who - you know, they're working all the hours. They're doing their best for their families and sometimes they just feel the odds are stacked against them.Collection: Odds

Not partial membership of the European Union or anything that leaves us half in, half out. No, the United Kingdom is leaving the European Union.Collection: Leaving
The days of Britain and America intervening in sovereign countries in an attempt to remake the world in our own image are over.Collection: Country
You have a job but you don't always have job security, you have your own home but you worry about mortgage rates going up, you can just about manage but you worry about the cost of living and the quality of the local school because there is no other choice for you.rankly, not everybody in Westminster understands what it's like to live like this and some need to be told that it isn't a game.Collection: Jobs
Brexit must mean control of the number of people who come to Britain from Europe, and that is what I will deliver.Collection: Mean
It remains overwhelmingly and compellingly in Britain's national interest that the EU should succeed.Collection: Succeed
Under my leadership the Conservative Party will come back together in the interests of the whole country.Collection: Country
I take a very simple view that a violent extremist at some point previously been an extremist, and by definition is an extremist, so you do need to look at that non-violent extremism.Collection: Simple

The internet is changing all forms of communication, and this definitely includes political communication.Collection: Communication
As I say the UK's position on the issue of torture and the use of torture has not changed. Our policy is the same as it has been. We condemn torture.Collection: Issues
We should no longer seek to have Budget surplus by end of Parliament. We should avoid tax rises.Collection: Ends
The Government has already U-turned today and I think the pressure is clearly growing for proper accountability over what this Government's negotiating position is on Brexit.Collection: Thinking
I'm going to be very clear in everything we do. I believe the special relationship is important to us, it's important more widely across Europe and the world. But I will also be very clear in the decisions I take and the conversations I have about UK interests. I'm not going to say anything different to Donald Trump to what I'm saying to you in terms of UK interests and where those lie.Collection: Lying
We're continuing to work to bring immigration down to the tens of thousands.Collection: Immigration
I'm a first-past-the-post person, and always have been.Collection: Past
The internet makes information easier to come by, but harder to control - think of the success of blogs like ConservativeHome and Guido Fawkes. I definitely think Parliament's website can be improved - perhaps it could have better access to video feed, include interactive features or have discussion forums.Collection: Thinking
These modern means of communication are one reason why I recently opposed the Government's decision to grant MPs a new communications allowance. With new technology giving us the opportunity to communicate directly with voters very cheaply, why did Labour MPs vote for a £10,000 allowance to tell voters what a good job they do?Collection: Jobs
What happened in the United States election is not a matter for the United Kingdom, it is a matter for the United States and the United States authorities.Collection: Kingdoms
I know there are some voices calling for a punitive deal that punishes Britain. That would be an act of calamitous self-harm for the countries of Europe, and it would not be the act of a friend.Collection: Country
Britain and the United States have an enduring and special relationship based on the values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.Collection: Democracy
I am the only candidate capable of delivering these three things as prime minister, and tonight it is clear that I am also the only one capable of drawing support from the whole of the Conservative party.Collection: Party
Britain is an open and tolerant country.Collection: Country
Dealing with a simple burglary can require 1000 process steps and 70 forms to be completed as a case goes through the Criminal Justice System. That can't be right.Collection: Simple
I know I'm not a showy politician... I don't go drinking in parliament's bars. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve, I just get on with the job in front of me and you can judge me by my record.Collection: Jobs
Whether an MP is a woman or a man, it's about the qualities of the individual in doing that job.Collection: Jobs
Donald Trump does not understand the UK and what happens in the UK.Collection: Doe
[Is the Conservative Party still the Nasty Party?] I said it was perceived as the Nasty Party. And is it? I don't think that it's a phrase that people today would apply to the Party. I think that the perception of the Party has changed.Collection: Party
Any attempt to wriggle, especially from leadership candidates who campaigned to leave the EU by focusing on immigration, will be unacceptable to the public.Collection: Immigration
My night out would be with my husband, wherever he chose to take me.Collection: Husband
I'm sick and tired of government ministers in this Labour government who simply blame other people when things go wrong.Collection: Tired
One of the issues that has been an issue in how we deal with net migration up until now is that we haven't been able to have any control over freedom of movement from the European Union. We will have that control in the future once we leave the EU.Collection: Issues
There's a whole range of areas that we'll be looking at, so I'm not at this very early stage going to specify any particular areas. As you will know, there will be a limit to how far we can go in terms of a formal free trade agreement until we've actually left the European Union. I think there is much that we [with Donald Trump] can do in the interim in terms of looking at how we can remove some of the barriers to trade in a number of areas.Collection: Thinking
What's going to be important is having the opportunity to actually sit down with President [Donald] Trump and talk to him face to face, about the interests we share, about the special relationship, about the joint challenges we both face. Talking about the future of NATO is one of the issues we will discuss.Collection: Opportunity
What I'm clear about is that we have an opportunity through this early meeting with Donald Trump to start that process of building on that special relationship, that special relationship which is on our national interest, and I think that we can together not just build that special relationship but do it in a way that is good for both for us and good more widely.Collection: Opportunity
It [selecting as many candidates as possible] is also advantageous for the [Conservative] Party because it helps us to build a base in those areas where we have not in, recent times, been as active as we'd have liked. It means that opposing parties don't get a free run but are challenged to prove themselves to voters.Collection: Running
I disagree with the analysis that you've put about what happened in relation to the student demonstrations and protests and the incident with the Prince of Wales' car. We're very clear that we have to separate out the political responsibility from operational responsibility of the police.Collection: Responsibility
I think that probably in some areas the Labour message about some of the things that they said we were going to do - and which we weren't going to do - cut through.Collection: Cutting
I had a cup of tea with Michael Howard after my appointment shortly after I became Home Secretary, and without telling tales out of school, shortly after I became Home Secretary, and he said that when people used to ask him whether he enjoyed it he'd reply that "enjoy" wasn't quite the right description.Collection: Home
Obviously, given the objective that we have, what I would hope is that people would be able to see that actually we had reduced the numbers of people, the net number of people, coming into the country. People would, presumably, see that, but it's difficult to say how.Collection: Country
We're committed to NATO. From the conversations I've already had with President [Donald] Trump over the phone, he has shown to me his commitment to NATO as well.Collection: Commitment
