“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.”

“It's very difficult to change your approach to how you see yourself when you suddenly get divorced. And you have to think again, over the next few years, how you're going to earn your income, how you're going to run your life. You have to identify as a single mother rather than as part of a family.”

“Most of the people I came across in the finance and business world were honest people, doing the best for their staff and for their family. But I encountered many who weren't.”

“Britain has united to send a strong message to anyone who seeks to peddle hate. Together we are stronger. Together we can beat hate.”

“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.”

“Labour are a danger to our security and our economy and are wholly incapable of negotiating the best Brexit deal for Britain.”

“We work incredibly hard with our E.U. and international partners to make the online space a hostile one for terrorists.”

“I remember my daughter coming back from school one day and saying that the teacher had asked anybody whose parents were divorced to put their hands up. I felt angry but also guilty. And you feel sort of terribly responsible in that sort of situation.”

“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.”

“As home secretary, I will work to ensure that our immigration policy is fair and humane.”

“Britain First is an extremist organisation which seeks to divide communities through their use of hateful narratives which spread lies and stoke tensions.”

“Our security and prosperity are inextricably linked.”

“You might want a certain type of Brexit deal, but you can't get it if the numbers aren't there.”

“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.”

“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.”

“To secure our future prosperity, we must do all that we can to make sure that Britain remains one of the safest and cleanest places in the world to do business.”

“A lot of unemployed families were moved to Hastings, and places were built for them. They're communities of unemployed people. It's been difficult dealing with that.”

“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.”

“All terrorists must face the full force of the law.”

“I want to make it clear that the U.K. is, and will continue to be, a strong, reliable, and committed partner in the fight against terrorism and other threats to our security.”
