I grew up the daughter of a local vicar and the granddaughter of a regimental sergeant major.
I was looking at a photograph of the 1997 election campaign yesterday, and I thought: 'My God. Did I really have that hairstyle? And that Tory blue suit?'
Nobody wins when the police are sent to look after people suffering from mental health problems; vulnerable people don't get the care they need and deserve, and the police can't get on with the job they are trained to do.
Targets don't fight crime; they hinder the fight against crime.
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.
Like Indiana Jones, I don't like snakes - though that might lead some to ask why I'm in politics.
It is not possible to debate the balance between privacy and security, including the rights and wrongs of intrusive powers, without also understanding the threats.
What's important is that we do this in the right timescale to get the right deal for the U.K. We shouldn't invoke Article 50 immediately.
I get cross about 13 years of Labour government that brought the country to the state it did.
The Snowden leaks did cause damage.
We will make the law clearer on parents' liability for failing to prevent their child being subjected to FGM, and we are working to improve the police response.

I am willing to consider powers which would ban known hooligans from rallies and marches and I will look into the powers the police already have to force the removal of face coverings and balaclavas.
The right place for a person suffering a mental health crisis is a bed, not a police cell. And the right people to look after them are medically trained professionals, not police officers.

We know of officers who develop inappropriate relationships with victims of domestic abuse. They have ignored their professional duty and their moral responsibility.
We are mandating forces to hold regular neighbourhood beat meetings. These meetings will give local people the chance to scrutinise the work of their local police.
We want to go further than preventing people from becoming terrorists and focus on a broader approach to counter-extremism - both violent and non-violent.
One area in which we can be certain mass immigration has an effect is housing. More than one third of all new housing demand in Britain is caused by immigration. And there is evidence that without the demand caused by mass immigration, house prices could be 10% lower over a 20-year period.
Just as the police review their operational tactics, so we in the Home Office will review the powers available to the police.
