Conference, I told you that we have a fight on our hands. There are separatists running not just Scotland, but Wales and Northern Ireland too.
We will review the Scotland Act and consider withdrawing powers if it would ensure better governance of the UK.
I’m very sad that you’re looking at this in crude electoral terms. That’s how we’ve all got into this problem where we keep thinking about winning elections rather than thinking about what works.
Your viewers will know that sometimes you have a football team that’s disappointing. There’s a new captain, there’s a new coach, there’s a new owner, effectively – which is all me.
I’m proud of my country. I’m proud of our history, all that we have done, and all that we will do in the world.
I don’t want to explain to my son when we’re watching our brilliant England team play football that some people don’t think our black players are English.
People deserve better and we are going to give them better than that: character, conduct and standards matter.
I believe the people who work hard and save should be rewarded for that effort.
My ambition is to abolish inheritance tax altogether, as soon as we can afford it.
We're adapting and updating our policy so that it works for the problems they have today.
I want to get this economy growing, I want to make the country richer, I want to stop the boats, we've got a plan on borders, we've got a plan on welfare, we've got a plan on defence and bringing energy costs down.
If you want Conservative, you have to vote Conservative. I have said we'd have another election if there was no overall majority.
It is lazy. It is lazy thinking from somebody who has run out of ideas and wants to refight the battles of the past.
Andy Burnham is living in the past. I wasn’t even an MP when we voted to leave the European Union. I voted Leave. The country voted Leave. And what they want politicians to do is make it work rather than still trying to go back into the EU.
I don’t think Labour has been good for London and the people of London will be voting whether it’s Conservatives or Labour, not on Brexit.
That is why today we are announcing Britannia Shield: a new national missile-and-drone defence system to protect the whole United Kingdom, our sovereign territories and British bases overseas.
