“If John McDonnell nationalised whole industries, they would be quickly taken over by bureaucrats more concerned about their careers than about customers.”

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.

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

The free market is fundamentally humane and democratic, driven by ideas and millions of individual choices about what to do with our money which defy those who benefit from the status quo.

I’m a big fan of political editor Allegra Stratton.

Economics and finance is the final frontier for women; it’s the last thing they will conquer because controlling finance is at the heart of everything in government.

It’s a merger of home life and work life. They aren’t that separate, I must confess, and my daughters know an awful lot about childcare reform now because of it.

I am delighted to be at the heart of this team of radical reformers in Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Nick Boles and many others. It’s a team I believe will deliver the change Britain needs.

I hate rodents. I mean, the House of Commons is completely infested. I will stand on a chair if I see one of the things.

Coronavirus may well represent the biggest health crisis any of us experience in our lifetimes.

In other countries you can do high-level maths or general maths, whereas we’ve just got all-or-nothing.

I feel I’ve come home at the Treasury.

One of my roles was as a commercial manager for liquid natural gas shipping, project economics and contract negotiation.

I love Britain. It really worries me, the prospect of Ed Miliband propped up by Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP and what that could do to our country. It’s absolutely right that we highlight to voters that potential risk.

Women need to be less squeamish about making money.

Labour want to control all parts of the economy and society so that they can pursue the politics of envy. It would leave us all paying higher taxes and the economy in tatters.

To work in architecture you are so much involved with society, with politics, with bureaucrats. It’s a very complicated process to do large projects.
