jobs home school
You have a job but you don't always have job security, you have your own home but you worry about mortgage rates going up, you can just about manage but you worry about the cost of living and the quality of the local school because there is no other choice for you.rankly, not everybody in Westminster understands what it's like to live like this and some need to be told that it isn't a game.
country looks debate
I look forward to continuing the debate about Britain's future - in Parliament and across the country.
country technology track
Countries across the world are taking action now to help them track paedophiles and terrorists who abuse new technology to plot their horrific crimes.
erosion government liberty
National security is the first duty of government but we are also committed to reversing the substantial erosion of civil liberties.
believe thinking police
I believe it's important that we ensure that the police have a modern and flexible workforce. I think that's what is necessary, so that they can provide the public with the service that they want.
tired government sick
I'm sick and tired of government ministers in this Labour government who simply blame other people when things go wrong.
mps people regulation
People feel that they're being required to meet all sorts of regulations and rules and requirements in their areas of work and MPs are not imposing those sort of restrictions on themselves.
thinking government reorganisation
I think major reorganisation is not something the government's about to do.
important today suits
It is clearly important for all leadership candidates to be open and transparent about their tax affairs. I was very happy to publish mine today, and hope others will follow suit.
honesty want gimmicks
The public want honesty from their politicians.Not showy gimmicks.
simple two three
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.
thinking video information
The internet makes information easier to come by, but harder to control - think of the success of blogs like ConservativeHome and Guido Fawkes. I definitely think Parliament's website can be improved - perhaps it could have better access to video feed, include interactive features or have discussion forums.
simple views needs
I take a very simple view that a violent extremist at some point previously been an extremist, and by definition is an extremist, so you do need to look at that non-violent extremism.
risk succeed plot
I'm not willing to risk more terrorist plots succeeding and more paedophiles going free.
