jobs thinking important
I think it's important to do a good job and not to feel that you've got to make grand gestures, but just to get on and deliver.
thinking people politician
I think there is a break down of trust generally, between people and politicians. I think that's come about for a whole variety of reasons.
cutting thinking messages
I think that probably in some areas the Labour message about some of the things that they said we were going to do - and which we weren't going to do - cut through.
party thinking important
The Conservative Party's always stood in every seat and I think it's important to us.
country opportunity thinking
I support selecting as many candidates as early as possible for lots of reasons. First of all I think it is important that every voter - regardless of where they live in the country - should have the opportunity to vote Conservative should they wish.
thinking issues police
What we're also doing is helping police forces in terms of issues like procurement and IT, so that savings can be made in those areas which I think is the sort of thing that everybody is going to want us to be doing
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.
thinking government reorganisation
I think major reorganisation is not something the government's about to do.
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.
thinking wags would-be
I have not watched WAGs World, I have not watched the BBC's Upstairs, Downstairs, either. It would be Downton Abbey, I think.
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.
thinking voters internet
The internet makes it much easier for politicians to communicate directly with voters - think of the interest when David launched WebCameron, or Tony Blair's rather embarrassing attempt to catch up on YouTube.
thinking accountability today
The Government has already U-turned today and I think the pressure is clearly growing for proper accountability over what this Government's negotiating position is on Brexit.
thinking rights problem
I'd personally like to see the Human Rights Act go because I think we have had some problems with it.
