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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The election is not very far off when a candidate can recognize you across the street.

All that is needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere. Political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate, the way he is projected by the advertising experts, are the things that really matter.

A candidate could easily commit political suicide if he were to come up with an unconventional thought during a presidential tour.

Anyway, I just haven’t been able to find any humanity in any Republican candidate ever in my entire life.

The people will have the right to elect their representatives from a list of candidates [who have been approved by the Party].

I think God has blessed us. He has blessed the Republican Party with some very good candidates. The Democrats can’t even find one.

I do think we should be focused on substance and record. If you want a candidate who opposes amnesty, who opposes citizenship for the 12 million people here illegally, I’m the only candidate in the race who opposes that.

It’s not beneficial when you have a presidential candidate like Donald Trump, telling his supporters “punch that guy in the face.” I think everyone candidate ought to aspire toward civility, towards decency, towards bringing us together. I don’t think we should be using angry and hateful rhetoric.
