jobs pms able
If ever there was a time for a PM ready and able to do the job from day one, this is it.
anger issues feels
I'm not someone who feels anger on particular issues.
want terrorism regimes
I want a counter-terrorism regime that is proportionate, focused and transparent.
cutting waste efficiency
I will be ruthless in cutting out waste, streamlining structures and improving efficiency.
people police drug
People will be able to raise their concerns: what are local officers doing about the drug dealing in the local park? What's happening about the pub where all the trouble is? And the police will have to respond
community behaviour wrecks
Anti-social behaviour still blights lives, wrecks communities and provides a pathway to criminality.
stress people community
Communities need to feel that they can accommodate people. Rather than feeling that it's not possible to integrate and that the stress and strain on housing and public services is too great.
jobs home matter
No, I can tell you one of the first things that happens to a home secretary when they arrive in the job is that they are given a briefing about the security matters that they will be dealing with and I deal with security matters on a daily basis.
journey people choices
People have to make journeys, what we want is people to have alternatives in public transport so that they can make a choice about the sort of way in which they're going to travel.
children benefits concepts
The concept of doing something with child benefit, of changing the rules around child benefit, is something that has been being discussed for some time.
believe important kingdoms
What is absolutely clear is that we have, with the U.S., an extradition treaty which is important, I believe it is an important treaty, for both sides, the United States and the United Kingdom. It is a treaty that I believe is balanced and we work on that basis.
government decision facts
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
people police want
Local people do want to see more police on the streets.
mean years police
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.
