Theresa May Quotations | Page 2

[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 believe in marriage. I believe marriage is a really important institution, it's one of the most important institutions we have.

The internet makes it much easier for politicians to communicate directly with voters - think of the interest when David launched WebCameron, or Tony Blair's rather embarrassing attempt to catch up on YouTube.

Whether an MP is a woman or a man, it's about the qualities of the individual in doing that job.

We are seeing, we have seen in the last figures a significant drop in the number of net migrants coming into the United Kingdom. So we are cutting out abuse, we've restricted the number of economic - non-EU economic migrants. We're cutting out abuse across the student visa system, particularly, and we're having an impact.

I'm a first-past-the-post person, and always have been.

I was in the Commons recently and saw a young lady wearing a nice pair of shoes. I said I liked them and she said my shoes were the reason she became involved in politics.

We're getting rid of bureaucracy, so that we're releasing time for police officers to be crime fighters and not form writers.

I will not allow a Delia Smith cookbook in my house! It's all so precise with Delia, and it makes cooking seem so inaccessible.

If you are from an ordinary working class family, life is just much harder than many people in politics realise.

Any attempt to wriggle, especially from leadership candidates who campaigned to leave the EU by focusing on immigration, will be unacceptable to the public.

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

Brexit means Brexit.The public made their verdict.

I know I'm not a showy politician... I don't go drinking in parliament's bars. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve, I just get on with the job in front of me and you can judge me by my record.

The last time Boris Johnson did a deal with the Germans he came back with three nearly new water cannon.

The Government has already U-turned today and I think the pressure is clearly growing for proper accountability over what this Government's negotiating position is on Brexit.

The internet is changing all forms of communication, and this definitely includes political communication.
