Britain is an open and tolerant country.

We want in the UK to have a good trading relationship with the EU. I think that's in our interests, I think that's in their interests as well. I want to continue to be cooperating on criminal justice, on security and defense, with the EU, I think that's important for the safety of Europe.

I'm convinced that a trade deal between the U.S. and the U.K. is in the national interest of both countries and will cement the crucial relationship that exists between us, particularly as the U.K. leaves the European Union and reaches out to the world.

We're committed to NATO. From the conversations I've already had with President [Donald] Trump over the phone, he has shown to me his commitment to NATO as well.

Whether an MP is a woman or a man, it's about the qualities of the individual in doing that job.

I look forward to continuing the debate about Britain's future - in Parliament and across the country.

I'm sick and tired of government ministers in this Labour government who simply blame other people when things go wrong.
