I was in the Commons recently and saw a young lady wearing a nice pair of shoes. I said I liked them and she said my shoes were the reason she became involved in politics.

More quotes by Theresa May
Today, there's an expectation that you get to know public people. In the past, it was much more what you did and how you presented yourself.
Theresa May
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.
Theresa May
My pitch is very simple. I'm Theresa May and I think I'm the best person to be prime minister of this country.
Theresa May
I'm convinced that a trade deal between the U.S. and the U.K. is in the national interest of both countries and will cement the crucial relationship that exists between us, particularly as the U.K. leaves the European Union and reaches out to the world.
Theresa May
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.
Theresa May
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.
Theresa May
One of the issues that has been an issue in how we deal with net migration up until now is that we haven't been able to have any control over freedom of movement from the European Union. We will have that control in the future once we leave the EU.
Theresa May
I'm a first-past-the-post person, and always have been.
Theresa May
The idea that Parliament somehow wasn't going to be able to discuss, debate, question issues around (Brexit) was frankly completely wrong.
Theresa May
The public want honesty from their politicians. Not showy gimmicks.
Theresa May
Uncontrolled, mass immigration displaces British workers, forces people onto benefits, and suppresses wages for the low-paid.
Theresa May
The internet is changing all forms of communication, and this definitely includes political communication.
Theresa May
If ever there was a time for a PM ready and able to do the job from day one, this is it.
Theresa May
Communities need to feel that they can accommodate people. Rather than feeling that it's not possible to integrate and that the stress and strain on housing and public services is too great.
Theresa May
As I've said previously as home secretary, dealing with immigration isn't just a single issue and a single measure and a single step that you take. You've got to keep working at that over time.
Theresa May
Just as the police review their operational tactics, so we in the Home Office will review the powers available to the police.
Theresa May
As I say the UK's position on the issue of torture and the use of torture has not changed. Our policy is the same as it has been. We condemn torture.
Theresa May
I had a cup of tea with Michael Howard after my appointment shortly after I became Home Secretary, and without telling tales out of school, shortly after I became Home Secretary, and he said that when people used to ask him whether he enjoyed it he'd reply that enjoy wasn't quite the right description.
Theresa May
People will be able to raise their concerns: what are local officers doing about the drug dealing in the local park? What's happening about the pub where all the trouble is? And the police will have to respond.
Theresa May
I'm sick and tired of government ministers in this Labour government who simply blame other people when things go wrong.
Theresa May
