There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it.

If your only opportunity is to be equal then it is not opportunity.

Any leader has to have a certain amount of steel in them, so I am not that put out being called the Iron Lady.

I like Mr Gorbachev, we can do business together.

I applaud strong government, but not overweening government sustained by cronies, ciphers and a personality cult.

We are not in politics to ignore peoples' worries, we are in politics to deal with them.

We have become a grandmother.
