The Conservative Party's always stood in every seat and I think it's important to us and I’m personally very pleased that we plan to continue to run candidates in Northern Ireland as well.

And it is crucial of course that chief constables are able to make decisions within their budgets about how they deploy their police officers to the greatest effect to ensure that they're able to do the job that the public want them to do.

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

I was a teenage godmother.

As I reflect on the results of election I will reflect on what we need to do in the future to take the party forward.

[Is the Conservative Party still the Nasty Party?] I said it was perceived as the Nasty Party. And is it? I don't think that it's a phrase that people today would apply to the Party. I think that the perception of the Party has changed.

I am delighted to have won so much support from my colleagues. The Conservative Party can come together - and under my leadership it will.
