Politician

My husband knows who I am. My friends, my family - they know I would never lie.

I truly believe we can be the greatest nation on Earth.

Genuinely, as a mum, all the sunlit uplands are when we leave the European Union.

I want to be crystal clear that everyone has an equal stake in our society and in the future of our country. That is what I believe, and it is what I have always believed.

Like so many of my generation and those younger, I have spent most of my life in the E.U., and my instincts were naturally for reform from within.

Having children has no bearing on the ability to be PM. I deeply regret that anyone has got the impression that I think otherwise.

We in the so called 'Western civilisations' have so much to learn from other cultures, and they would stand to gain so much by learning from ours. We don't have all the answers - far from it... but nor do any other culture or religion.

When in doubt, cook a Sunday roast, get the family around you, and you'll feel fine afterwards.

The reason I say 'never say never' is because I do not think that there should be another independence referendum in Scotland - I do not think it's in their interest - but on the other hand, I am a big believer in devolution.

We can restore that vital trust between politics and the people.

I will do everything in my power to keep the United Kingdom united.

The U.K.'s climate change act was passed by a majority of 463 votes to three. That is really quite extraordinary. The will of parliament has rarely been expressed so strongly and unambiguously.

The period from conception to two is about the development of a baby's emotional capacities. Mum saying, 'Oh, darling, I love you,' and singing baby songs and pulling faces literally stimulates the synapses in the brain.

At the end of the day, family will always come first.

I want to live in a Britain where there is a shared belief in freedom and democracy, and equal rights for men and women.

Certainty in politics is never a given.

The government takes the opposition day debates incredibly seriously.

Decarbonising our energy system is not some abstract regulatory requirement. It is an essential responsibility that we hold towards our children and grandchildren as the only way to effectively counter the threat of climate change.

My kids are a huge part of my life.

I think people will always do have an interest in policy areas, but Brexit is certainly got people talking and thinking and, so, probably more engaged than they would otherwise be.
