The Home Office website tells us there have been well over 150 pieces of primary legislation or policy changes on immigration since 1988 - and I've been in the House for some of them.

They simply took away rights and treated people badly.

My goal as Home Secretary is to rebuild the public's confidence and thereby ensure we can continue providing protection to those in need today and for generations to come.

Courage of Hillsborough families is humbling - making sure nobody suffers as they did

That’s the first thing that humbles you when meeting the Hillsborough families – how much they have endured.

Today is a dark day in our political life, but we must also use it as an opportunity to celebrate Ann Widdecombe's memory. She was a unique figure in our politics, a distinctive and devoted public servant, the likes of whom we will rarely…

The time to act is now. Trust in politics and public institutions has plummeted.

Safe, reliable rest areas are essential for the truck drivers who keep our economy moving and the travelers who rely on Illinois’ roads every day.

You don’t do anything that’s small. Everything you do is big. It’s huge. It’s the best. It’s the greatest. America loves you.

He who has the gold makes the rules' is not just an old saying but a description of political reality.
