We all know the stories about the Human Rights Act... about the illegal immigrant who cannot be deported because, and I am not making this up, he had a pet cat.

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.

Britain is an open and tolerant country.

Dealing with a simple burglary can require 1000 process steps and 70 forms to be completed as a case goes through the Criminal Justice System. That can't be right.

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

I am very grateful to my colleagues for their support. There is a big job before us: to unite our party and the country, to negotiate the best possible deal as we leave the EU, and to make Britain work for everyone.

I think it's important to do a good job and not to feel that you've got to make grand gestures, but just to get on and deliver.
