A lot of men in politics suddenly woke up to the issue of women in politics when they realised: hey, there are votes in this!

• I'm not someone who feels anger on particular issues.
• Today I can announce a raft of reforms that we estimate could save over 2.5 million police hours every year. That's the equivalent of more than 1,200 police officer posts. These reforms are a watershed moment in policing. They show that we really mean business in busting bureaucracy.
• So we mustn't lower our guard in any sense because of what has happened in terms of the death of Osama Bin Laden and we are certainly not doing that. The terror threat level here in the U.K. remains at severe and we're very conscious of the need to continue that.
• It's always an interesting experience for a politician to be heard in silence, I have to say.
• The U.K. needs a system for family migration underpinned by three simple principles. One: that those who come here should do so on the basis of a genuine relationship. Two: that migrants should be able to pay their way. And three: that they are able to integrate into British society.
• National security is the first duty of government but we are also committed to reversing the substantial erosion of civil liberties.
• We campaigned on the fact that we were going to have to take difficult decisions because of the state of the public finances. When we got into government we discovered that actually the public finances were in an even worse state than we thought.
• For voters what matters is what government actually delivers for them.
• I think for voters what matters is the values that drive the government.
• There's much more we can be doing in Parliament, we could be giving more power back to people at local government level, through local referendums.
