Quotes

  • Capital punishment [could] serve as a deterrent. I do not think we have enough deterrents in this country for criminals – let’s not forget that murders, rapists and criminals of that nature choose to commit the crimes that they commit.
  • While my actions were meant with the best of intentions, my actions also fell below the standards of transparency and openness that I have promoted and advocated. I offer a fulsome apology to you and to the government for what has happened and offer my resignation.
  • There is still time to go back to Brussels and get a better deal.
  • We must seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity offered by the end of free movement
  • I want them [criminals] to literally feel terror at the thought of committing offences.
  • The Conservative Party is the party of law and order. Full stop. The defence of our nation, defence of our streets and law and order are at the heart of our values.
