I Think Anything Which Improves Services Is

The Fact Is That I'm Interested In Getting On With My Job Of Holding The Government To Account And I Think That The Government Should Get On With The Job Of Effectively Running The Country And Not Making Excuses For Poor Performance, Not Lowering Expectations. Their Job Is To Deliver On Their Election Commitments.

I Don't Think That My Particular Religious Convictions Should Be Held Against Me In This Campaign Any More Than The Prime Minister's Lack Of Convictions Should Be Held Against Her.

I've Always Been Very Wary Of Debates Involving Women.

It Is A Very Heavy Responsibility [to Be A Prime-minister] To Make, But Someone Has To Make It For Our Country And I Am Thrilled And Honoured To Have That Opportunity And That Responsibility.

The Media - And I'm Not Blaming Them - Obviously Like To Seize On The Differences Between People And, Sure, There Are Some Senior Members Of The Government Who Are In A Slightly Different Philosophical Space To Mine. But Do Not Underestimate The Substantial Single-mindedness Of This Government.
