I want a counter-terrorism regime that is proportionate, focused and transparent.

I'm not willing to risk more terrorist plots succeeding and more paedophiles going free.

Britain and the United States are, and will remain, strong and close partners on trade, security and defence.

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.

Flexible working is not just for women with children. It is necessary at the other end of the scale. If people can move into part-time work, instead of retirement, then that will be a huge help. If people can fit their work around caring responsibilities for the elderly, the disabled, then again that's very positive.

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

As I say the UK's position on the issue of torture and the use of torture has not changed. Our policy is the same as it has been. We condemn torture.
