“Women are not going to start businesses because we tell them we don’t have enough people of a certain group.”

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.

It’s vital to our economic mission that we fight vested interests, and make sure our country’s opportunities are open to everyone – big or small, north or south, man or woman.

I’m proud to say like many of my colleagues in the Conservative Party I am fully behind Theresa May’s Brexit plans.

Our aim should be to give the British people greater control of their lives in all regards.

I’m very concerned that a lot of our land is being taken up with solar farms.

All of us in Parliament now have a responsibility to get on with the process of leaving the EU and securing a more prosperous future for Britain as an open, global, trading nation.

It’s almost 10 years since the 2008 crisis, but we all still remember the consequences of ignoring threats to the public finances.

In order to retain our position as the dynamic duo of the world, it’s vital that in the UK and US we keep opportunities open for new people and new ideas. And we can never allow our economies to get furred up.

From better access to American markets for our beef and lamb farmers, to cutting tariffs on dairy products like cheese, which are up to 17 per cent, there are significant opportunities for UK farming.

When I left university I got a job with Shell on their graduate scheme.

Except this time, there will be no choice and nowhere to turn when things go wrong.

I admire Peter Mandleson’s chutzpah and the way he transformed the Labour party but not his dubious ideas about Europe and industrial policy.

Free-flow play is not compulsory, but there is a belief across lots of nurseries that it is.

Leaving the European Union really does give us a chance as a country to become more outward-looking, to become more competitive, and to deepen our links with our partners right across the world.

Taking control of our laws border and money, run not by a bunch of overpaid bureaucrats in Brussels but by a bunch of overpaid bureaucrats in Britain. That ladies and gentlemen is a dream worth fighting for.

What I saw when I went to France was that really good quality education and childcare is seen there as a completely normal part of everyday life.

It’s a life of sacrifice. There are rewards, but also a certain degree of sterility.

Drawing an object that has a certain amount of wear and tear or rust; or a tree that is damaged.

I think there’s no question that the barriers, the fences and in certain urban areas, the walls, have had an important effect in terms of increasing the manageability and the security of the border.

We live in a time where there’s an alienation factor. There’s a certain disconnection.

I certainly believe that what we perceive as humans is just the tip of the iceberg.

Certainly if someone looks at my life, they will see that I have surrendered my heart, my life to Jesus Christ.

To refuse a hearing to an opinion, because they are sure that it is false, is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute certainty. All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility.

I just try and learn to be a good husband and be a good father before I am a good rock star. That means saying no to certain things that go with the business.
