Labour are a danger to our security and our economy and are wholly incapable of negotiating the best Brexit deal for Britain.
Amber Rudd
We need to make sure that organisations like WhatsApp - and there are plenty of others like that - don't provide a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each other.
We should be able to have a conversation about immigration; we should be able to have a conversation about what skills we want to have in the U.K. and whether we need to go out of the U.K. in order to get them to boost our economy, and I don't think we should have a situation where we can't talk about it.
Modern slavery is a barbaric crime. Each and every case is a both a tragedy and an affront to our values of decency and kindness.
We have some of the best intelligence and crime fighting agencies in the world.
Famine is about so much more than food: it is about a famine of education, democracy, health, transport, and so many other items. The food famine becomes a symptom of that vast failure.
Haven't we all been taken aback when an illness suddenly causes the voice to crack and sometimes dry up completely?
When I used to go the E.U. for meetings, I often had a terrible cold to insist that I didn't get enveloped in a bear hug. All the E.U. commissioners love doing their big hugs.
We stand for law and order, so we will not allow the scourge of violence to infect our communities.
I believe in the state as a power for good.
I'm afraid in my family we still laugh now about the fact that I was called 'stubborn' and my brother was called 'determined.'
I'm absolutely committed to Hastings.
One of the biggest challenges for any Home Secretary - indeed, any government - is how we deal with emerging threats.
The important thing is that government gives the security services the tools that are necessary to keep us safe.
Saying we should scrap drones shows an irresponsible and nonsensical ignorance of the way we protect our country. It lets down our servicemen and servicewomen fighting terrorists who want to harm us.
Let there be no doubt: we will be tough on terror wherever it strikes.
People with disabilities and health conditions have enough challenges in life. Dealing with my department should not be one of them. So my ambition is to significantly improve how DWP supports disabled people and those with health conditions.
It is troubling that modern slavery is a crime that can be hidden in the supply chains of the goods and services we use every day. The uncomfortable reality is that the money we spend could be driving demand for slavery across the globe.
All terrorists must face the full force of the law.
We work incredibly hard with our E.U. and international partners to make the online space a hostile one for terrorists.
Bringing up children on my own was quite a busy time.
We have a cadre of home-grown cyber-skilled professionals to meet the demands of an increasingly digital world, in the public and private sectors and in defence.
Put simply, the U.K. must remain a hub for international talent.
I would quite like to be home secretary again if I ever got the opportunity because there's a few things I'd like to do a bit better than last time.
When we look at the wider picture, the relationship between the U.K. and America, I know how valuable the friendship is between our two nations. As home secretary, I can tell the House that the importance of the relationship between our countries, the unparalleled sharing of intelligence between our countries, is vital.
What is clear is that stalking can happen to anyone. Doctors are targeted by patients, people in the public eye are watched by obsessed fans, and ex-wives are followed by former husbands.
We won't win in the world if we don't do more to upskill our own workforce.
Sometimes a politician gets up and talks about British values and what we think that means, and we can be knocked down quite harshly, but I don't think we should be. I think we should be able to talk about British values and about immigration without people saying, 'Oh, you're just being like a crazed other party.'
We must not let hate win.
In my 20s, I was leaving university, getting married, or having a baby. And then, in my 30s, I was just keeping my head above water. When I hit 40, I thought, 'I have got to get a grip of my life and really point it in the direction I want it to go rather than just swim hard against the current.'
I'm committed to working with business, both large and small, to make sure we don't impose unnecessary burdens or create damaging labour shortages.
British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far right, which is the antithesis of the values this country represents: decency, tolerance, respect.
I want to be part of a government that reaches across the whole of the country.
I want to see businesses identifying where the highest risks of modern slavery are in their business and supply chains and take targeted steps to address those risks.
The U.K. government has been clear that it wants to use the opportunity of leaving the E.U. to design a future immigration system that works in the best interests of the country. A key part of this system must be creating an environment that allows us to achieve sustainable levels of net migration.
For my part, let me be clear: protecting those in society most at risk of harm, those crushed at the bottom of the heap, those who have been abused by the very people who should have looked after them, is, as home secretary, my job, but I also see it is as my moral duty.
Famines are political. We all know that the immediate response to a famine must be food, aid, and shelter, but we should also look hard at what else can be done earlier on. It is not the lack of food but the fact that some people cannot get access to the food that causes the famine.
We can't treat issues as taboo because we find them unpleasant.
Encryption plays a fundamental role in protecting us all online. It is key to growing the digital economy and delivering public services online. But, like many powerful technologies, encrypted services are used and abused by a small minority of people.
I hadn't really thought about politics as a career in my twenties or early thirties.
Stalking can have devastating consequences, and I am determined that we do all we can to protect victims from these prolonged and terrifying campaigns of abuse that can last years, leaving many people too afraid to leave their homes and unable to get on with their lives.
Tackling violence on our streets is a complex problem, and we need not only all parties, but whole communities to come together to tackle it.
Automation is driving the decline of banal and repetitive tasks.
The public must have confidence in our ability to control immigration - in terms of type and volume - from within the E.U. That is why, once we have left the E.U., this government will apply its own immigration rules and requirements that will meet the needs of U.K. businesses, but also of wider society.
I'm passionately committed to making sure our world-leading institutions can attract the brightest and the best. But a student immigration system that treats every student and university as equal only punishes those we should want to help.
A national government has to have national priorities.
If you run your company pension into the ground, saddling it with massive, unsustainable debts, we're coming for you.
My job as Home Secretary is to keep families and communities across our country safe.
I would like to get immigration enforcement right. I think that there is a problem there, and it needs some really careful analysis and a brutal look at who's doing what and who's got what powers where.
When we talk about famine, people start listing, as I have, its many different elements. We must not let the complexity of the subject put us off. We must continue putting our efforts into prevention.
