The idea that Parliament somehow wasn't going to be able to discuss, debate, question issues around (Brexit) was frankly completely wrong.

On gay adoption I have changed my mind.

My night out would be with my husband, wherever he chose to take me.

I am a vicar's daughter and still a practising member of the Church of England.

My pitch is very simple. I'm Theresa May and I think I'm the best person to be prime minister of this country.

It [selecting as many candidates as possible] is also advantageous for the [Conservative] Party because it helps us to build a base in those areas where we have not in, recent times, been as active as we'd have liked. It means that opposing parties don't get a free run but are challenged to prove themselves to voters.

I will be ruthless in cutting out waste, streamlining structures and improving efficiency.
