“National security is the first duty of government but we are also committed to reversing the substantial erosion of civil liberties.”

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.

A lot of men in politics suddenly woke up to the issue of women in politics when they realised: hey, there are votes in this!

Countries across the world are taking action now to help them track paedophiles and terrorists who abuse new technology to plot their horrific crimes.

I want to put the interests of ordinary working people right up there, center stage. Those people who – you know, they’re working all the hours. They’re doing their best for their families and sometimes they just feel the odds are stacked against them.

I 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.

It remains overwhelmingly and compellingly in Britain’s national interest that the EU should succeed.

In tough times, everyone has to take their share of the pain.

What is absolutely clear is that we have, with the U.S., an extradition treaty which is important, I believe it is an important treaty, for both sides, the United States and the United Kingdom. It is a treaty that I believe is balanced and we work on that basis.

Just as the police review their operational tactics, so we in the Home Office will review the powers available to the police.

We’re getting rid of bureaucracy, so that we’re releasing time for police officers to be crime fighters and not form writers.

The internet is changing all forms of communication, and this definitely includes political communication.

You can jail a Revolutionary, but you can’t jail the Revolution.

There are civil rights aspects and there are limits to what we can do.

The worst thing that can happen to a man is to become civilized.

If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.

I believe it is my obligation to tell the story of the civil rights movement to the next generation.

Statism is a system of institutionalized violence and perpetual civil war. Statism survives by looting; a free country survives by production.

There should be a graphic novel dealing with the contribution of the women of the civil rights movement, to tell their story.

Even in the civil rights movement, there were so many unbelievable women. They never, ever received the credit that they should have received. They did all of the, and I cannot say it, they did all of the dirty work. Hard work.
