“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.”

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.

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.

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.

Traditionally, Conservatives have argued that low taxes are a route to self-determination.

It was better walk with dignity than ride in shame. A lot of people in Cincinnati are saying, “Rather than have the continual problems of police brutality and economic disparity,

Economists who speak the English tongue are strangely intimidated by mathematical symbols.

He never made economic promises to people and as a result, he never led to dissatisfaction in this perspective. Because they need to get votes, they use misleading slogans. And this leads to rising expectations. I had a personal experience.

The strategy for peace-building in Afghanistan is economic aid, reconstruction, international security forces. On those lines, the U.S. has been extremely slow. And it has even blocked expanding security forces from Kabul to other cities.

The idea of a permanent U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, as opposed to an economic presence, is going to create a new wave of hostility toward the United States.

The problem right now, which I’ve been pointing out very bluntly to American officials in Washington, is that the U.S. has no economic presence in Afghanistan.

Economics and ethics have little in common.
