“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.”

Any attempt to wriggle, especially from leadership candidates who campaigned to leave the EU by focusing on immigration, will be unacceptable to the public.

I’m a first-past-the-post person, and always have been.

I think it’s important to do a good job and not to feel that you’ve got to make grand gestures, but just to get on and deliver.

I want a counter-terrorism regime that is proportionate, focused and transparent.

I’m not sure I should reveal the sources of my clothes.

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.

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.

The rules that the United States introduce will be obviously be rules for the United States, but I’m very clear about the opportunities I expect everyone in the UK to have. I will be representing the interests of everyone in the UK on a whole range of things we will talk about.

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.

We should all do what, in the long run, gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or sorting the laundry.

Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch, which ought to be applied as sparingly as possible. I dislike the stuff. I do not believe in it, for its own sake, at all… My lawgivers are Erasmus and Montaigne, not Moses and St Paul.

I hate American simplicity. I glory in the piling up of complications of every sort.

Lastly, the star became like Saturn, and there will finally come a time of want, death, imprisonment and all sorts of sad things.

I know there are all sorts of reasons I shouldn’t even be saying what I am. But I love you. I do. I knew it when I left Patrick. And I think you might even love me a little bit.

There is a sort of man who pays no attention to his good actions, but is tormented by his bad ones. This is the type that most often writes about himself.

Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.

Still others commit all sorts of evil deeds, claiming karma doesn’t exist. They erroneously maintain that since everything is empty, committing evil isn’t wrong. Such persons fall into a hell of endless darkness with no hope of release. Those who are wise hold no such conception.
