The first four months of my life were spent in care, before I was adopted by my wonderful parents - my mum and dad - Ernie and Christine. They went on to adopt my sister, who is profoundly deaf, and invested both of us with a love and support that informs everything I do today.

The British people voted for change.They sent us a clear instruction that they want Britain to leave the European Union and end the supremacy of EU law.

If I'm the British prime minister I won't be dictated to on the timetable or the manner of the negotiations.

I believed we needed someone who would be able to build a team, lead and unite. I hoped that person would be Boris Johnson.

Turkey will "inevitably" join the EU in our lifetime unless we vote to leave.

It is a belief in human potential that has guided me through my time in Government.

The British prime minister will want to have a strong and positive relationship with European leaders always.
