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.
THERESA MAYI 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.
THERESA MAYSham marriages have been widespread; people have been allowed to settle in Britain without being able to speak English; and there have not been rules in place to stop migrants becoming a burden on the taxpayer. We are changing all of that.
THERESA MAYI want a counter-terrorism regime that is proportionate, focused and transparent.
THERESA MAYWe all know the stories about the Human Rights Act. About the illegal immigrant who cannot be deported because, and I am not making this up, he had a pet cat.
THERESA MAYAs I say the UK’s position on the issue of torture and the use of torture has not changed. Our policy is the same as it has been. We condemn torture.
THERESA MAYPeople 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.
THERESA MAYLabour 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.
THERESA MAYThe public want honesty from their politicians. Not showy gimmicks.
THERESA MAYI 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.
THERESA MAYThe 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.
THERESA MAYFor voters what matters is what government actually delivers for them.
THERESA MAYWe’re getting rid of bureaucracy, so that we’re releasing time for police officers to be crime fighters and not form writers.
THERESA MAYI think major reorganisation is not something the government’s about to do.
THERESA MAYI believe in marriage. I believe marriage is a really important institution; it’s one of the most important institutions we have.
THERESA MAYI know there are some voices calling for a punitive deal that punishes Britain. That would be an act of calamitous self-harm for the countries of Europe, and it would not be the act of a friend.
THERESA MAYOn gay adoption I have changed my mind.
