party support together
I am delighted to have won so much support from my colleagues. The Conservative Party can come together - and under my leadership it will.
party drawing support
I am the only candidate capable of delivering these three things as prime minister, and tonight it is clear that I am also the only one capable of drawing support from the whole of the Conservative Party.
party thinking important
The Conservative Party's always stood in every seat and I think it's important to us.
running party mean
It's also advantageous for the Party because it helps us to build a base in those areas where we have not in, recent times, been as active as we'd have liked. It means that opposing parties don't get a free run but are challenged to prove themselves to voters.
party thinking people
[Is the Conservative Party still the Nasty Party?] I said it was perceived as the Nasty Party. And is it? I don't think that it's a phrase that people today would apply to the Party. I think that the perception of the Party has changed.
country party together
Under my leadership the Conservative Party will come back together in the interests of the whole country.
party eye years
It is quite widely known that I like shoes. This is not something that defines me as either a woman or a politician, but it has come to define me in the eyes of the newspapers. I wore a pair of leopard-print kitten heels to a Conservative Party Conference a few years ago and the papers have continued to focus on my feet ever since.
anybody families time
I think if you talk to anybody who would like to have had children... I mean, you look at families all the time and you see there is something there that you don't have.
government matters voters
I think for voters what matters is the values that drive the government.
announce business busting equivalent estimate hours mean million moment officer raft reforms save
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.
call nasty people
You know what some people call us: the nasty party.
determine elected local obviously people
Obviously local people will have their local voice through the police and crime commissioners that they've elected to determine their local policing.
constantly threat
Look, we constantly live looking at the issue of the threat of terrorism.
cameron david growing led time
Now there is a growing feeling, it's something that David Cameron led on actually, he said this some time ago, that MPs should not be voting on their own pay.
