Date of Birth26 August 1967
law promise democracy
The promise to leave the European Union, end the supremacy of EU law and take back control of our democracy. With my leadership, it will be delivered.
expectations horizon different
I have a different starting premise from those 100 academics who are so heavily invested in the regime of low expectations and narrow horizons which they have created.
school mean home
A coalition with Tories and Liberal Democrats together is a golden opportunity to create the sort of planning reform that means not only can we have more environmentally sensitive planning, but we can have more homes and more schools.
brain language cases
It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning.
numbers style promise
The promise to take back control of our borders. I will end free movement, introduce an Australian-style points-based system for immigration, and bring numbers down. With my leadership, it will be delivered.
teacher different bigs
The big shift in approach on education that we are taking - which is different from what happened before - is that we trust teachers and we trust heads.
children mean home
Children in dysfunctional homes at risk of abuse are kept in danger for too long because politically correct rules mean we won't challenge unfit parents.
school outstanding
Many more schools can be outstanding.
cutting nhs people
The promise to use the money we currently send to Brussels and invest it instead on the priorities of the British people - principally in the NHS - and to cut VAT on domestic fuel. With my leadership, it will be delivered.
children school years
One of the problems we have is children are not in school long enough in the day and during the year.
jobs unions european-union
One of the things I know about the European Union is that the European Union can destroy jobs.
jobs wall father
I know what it's like to see someone lose their job as a result of the European Union. I saw my father lose his job, I saw his business go to the wall, I saw 24 people who he employed also lose their jobs.
father fishing unions
My father had a fishing business in Aberdeen destroyed by the European Union and the Common Fisheries Policy, the European Union.
bumps unions deals
If we leave the European Union, yes there will be bumps in the road, inevitably, but we will be in a better position to deal with them.
