I think our police do an excellent job, day in and day out, working to keep us safe.
My pitch is very simple. My name is Theresa May, and I think I’m the best person to be Prime Minister of this country.
I completely understand why people are concerned about immigration. There’s no silver bullet, no one thing you can do to suddenly deal with all the problems and concerns with immigration, and that includes leaving the E.U.
I think if you talk to anybody who would like to have had children… I mean, you look at families all the time and you see there is something there that you don’t have.
People feel that they’re being required to meet all sorts of regulations and rules and requirements in their areas of work and MPs are not imposing those sort of restrictions on themselves.
It’s always an interesting experience for a politician to be heard in silence, I have to say.
I think for voters what matters is the values that drive the government.
David Cameron has already said, and I have said, that a Conservative government would be giving the security agencies and law enforcement agencies the powers that they need to ensure that they are keeping up to date as people communicate with data.
The use of water cannon could have changed the face of British policing; it would have made a huge difference to British policing.
We will talk to the CIFAS members, financial institutions, about the possibility of closing accounts of people who have no right to be here. If you’re going to create a hostile environment for illegal migrants… access to financial services is part of that.
If I am prime minister, we will come out of the European Union, and part of that will be control of free movement.
I’d personally like to see the Human Rights Act go because I think we have had some problems with it.
There is nothing inevitable about crime and there is nothing inevitable about anti-social behaviour.
I am a vicar’s daughter and still a practising member of the Church of England.
The Snowden leaks did cause damage.
People have to make journeys, what we want is people to have alternatives in public transport so that they can make a choice about the sort of way in which they’re going to travel.
Dealing with a simple burglary can require 1,000 process steps and 70 forms to be completed as a case goes through the Criminal Justice System. That can’t be right.
Targets don’t fight crime.
My whole philosophy is about doing, not talking.
It is all around us, hidden in plain sight. It is walking our streets, supplying shops and supermarkets, working in fields, factories or nail bars, trapped in brothels or cowering behind the curtains in an ordinary street: slavery.
I grew up the daughter of a local vicar and the granddaughter of a regimental sergeant major.
Communities need to feel that they can accommodate people. Rather than feeling that it’s not possible to integrate and that the stress and strain on housing and public services is too great.
What’s important is that we do this in the right timescale to get the right deal for the U.K. We shouldn’t invoke Article 50 immediately.
I am willing to consider powers which would ban known hooligans from rallies and marches and I will look into the powers the police already have to force the removal of face coverings and balaclavas.
Tying money up for 40 years doesn’t sound appealing when you are young.
We’ve got a first class leader at the moment. David Cameron is dealing with the issues that he was left by the last government very well indeed.
I’ve always championed women in politics. We just get stuck in; politics isn’t a game. The decisions we make affect people’s lives, and that is something we must all keep to the forefront of our minds.
National security is the first duty of government but we are also committed to reversing the substantial erosion of civil liberties.
Reducing net E.U. migration need not mean undermining the principle of free movement. When it was first enshrined, free movement meant the freedom to move to a job, not the freedom to cross borders to look for work or claim benefits.
The U.K. courts were very clear that Abu Qatada posed a threat to our national security – that’s why we were pleased as a government to be able to remove him from the United Kingdom.
I was a teenage godmother.
Our manifesto to the British people promised to finish the job of police reform. And that is exactly what I intend to do.
Targets don’t fight crime; they hinder the fight against crime.
It is very important that people see there is a bright future, and we can re-engage that entrepreneurial spirit of the trading nation for which the U.K. has always been known – that dynamic, creative spirit.
The aim is to create here in Britain a really hostile environment for illegal migration.
Today I can announce a raft of reforms that we estimate could save over 2.5 million police hours every year. That’s the equivalent of more than 1,200 police officer posts. These reforms are a watershed moment in policing. They show that we really mean business in busting bureaucracy.
One girl subjected to FGM or forces to marry is one girl too many.
