I believe it's important that we ensure that the police have a modern and flexible workforce. I think that's what is necessary, so that they can provide the public with the service that they want.

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.

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.

It remains overwhelmingly and compellingly in Britain's national interest that the EU should succeed.

Local people do want to see more police on the streets.

Under my leadership the Conservative Party will come back together in the interests of the whole country.

Tying money up for 40 years doesn't sound appealing when you are young.
