I think it is very difficult for somebody who campaigned to stay in, who thinks there will be disaster if we leave and so on to suddenly turn it around and start believing that we can make a go of it.

More quotes by Andrea Leadsom
I always make decisions with the facts so I would look to make an early decision with the benefit of the facts.
Andrea Leadsom
I absolutely am a Christian and I am very proud of it.
Andrea Leadsom
I can't possibly put myself in his [Tony Blair's] shoes and be inside his head but what I can say is that the security of the nation is the first duty of any government but at the same time for me going to war would always be the last resort. I would exhaust all other opportunities first.
Andrea Leadsom
Specific policy decisions would be absolutely necessary to promote the UK. It's not necessarily borrowing more or changing our current account status.
Andrea Leadsom
I came into politics because of a real childhood concern about the Cold War. So to me the importance of the nuclear deterrent is actually really ingrained in me.
Andrea Leadsom
I do want to be very clear: I see our nuclear deterrent as absolutely core insurance for our national security.
Andrea Leadsom
I would absolutely commit to holding a vote on the hunting ban - I think it is not proven to be in the interests of animal welfare whatsoever.
Andrea Leadsom
Prosperity should be our goal, not austerity.
Andrea Leadsom
I want to lead a nation where anyone who aims high can achieve their dreams.
Andrea Leadsom
I say to all who are legally here, that you will be welcome to stay.
Andrea Leadsom
If you are asking me, am I going to be sort of saying 'oh well 'God's told me to do this and do that' well of course that's not the case.
Andrea Leadsom
Actually I do believe we need a proper licensed regime that works better and is much more focused on animal welfare.
Andrea Leadsom
The great news is we have an all-female shortlist with no positive discrimination or anything, isn't that fantastic?
Andrea Leadsom
I think it's incredibly basic: we have to now deliver all of the huge advantages of trading with the 92 per cent of people in the world who aren't in the EU, so for me that was the final deciding factor.
Andrea Leadsom
You do not need to be in the single market we do not need that we are the word's fifth biggest economy. Most economies can agree free trade deals within two years the EU is taking 10 years or never at all, why?
Andrea Leadsom
I think we have muddled the terms of marriage, civil partnership, registry office, church etc. I would have liked that to have been clarified. I didn't really like the legislation that was the problem but I absolutely support gay marriage.
Andrea Leadsom
Did we get anything like the sort of reform that would make the EU work better? No. Not even close. And worse, even with the certainty of a UK referendum following the negotiation, it is clear that there was no appetite amongst European leaders for anything more than a few minor concessions.
Andrea Leadsom
I think we would look at other possibilities that would deliver further passenger capacity, that would deliver further infrastructure to the north of England but would be better value for taxpayers.
Andrea Leadsom
I genuinely believe the next leader has to be somebody who sees the opportunity of leaving the EU and is completely determined to deliver on what the people have told us to do.
Andrea Leadsom
I made very clear at the time that the love of same sex couples is every bit as valuable as that of opposite sex couples but nevertheless my view actually is that marriage in the biblical sense is very clearly from the many many Christians who wrote to me on the subject in their opinion can only be between a man and a woman.
