“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.”

The concept of doing something with child benefit, of changing the rules around child benefit, is something that has been being discussed for some time.

I’m sick and tired of government ministers in this Labour government who simply blame other people when things go wrong.

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.

Uncontrolled, mass immigration displaces British workers, forces people onto benefits, and suppresses wages for the low-paid.

I think major reorganisation is not something the government’s about to do.

The public want honesty from their politicians. Not showy gimmicks.

For voters what matters is what government actually delivers for them.

In seats where perhaps we don’t expect to win at the next general election, the new infrastructure gives us a chance to win local council seats and to build a campaigning base which could help us to win in the future.

I think there is a break down of trust generally, between people and politicians. I think that’s come about for a whole variety of reasons.

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.

Labour completely accepts and recognises the vote to leave the EU. The question is what is the agenda for that process and that needs to be held to account in Parliament now and that means it needs to be open to a vote.

I will be ruthless in cutting out waste, streamlining structures and improving efficiency.

A lot of men in politics suddenly woke up to the issue of women in politics when they realised: hey, there are votes in this!

Countries across the world are taking action now to help them track paedophiles and terrorists who abuse new technology to plot their horrific crimes.

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.

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.

You cannot impose your values on us, otherwise the world will become the law of the jungle.

Clearly understand that the only limitations you will ever have are the limitations you impose upon yourself. You truly do have infinite potential.

Never impose your language on people you wish to reach.

The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one’s self. And the arbitrariness of the constraint serves only to obtain precision of execution.

Anything one does every day is important and imposing and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.

That all may be so, but when I begin to exercise that power I am not conscious of the power, but only of the limitations imposed on me.

The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa – slightly off balance.

Love. There are no barriers against its infinite power, my child, save for those we impose upon ourselves.
