I want to see businesses identifying where the highest risks of modern slavery are in their business and supply chains and take targeted steps to address those risks.

For my part, let me be clear: protecting those in society most at risk of harm, those crushed at the bottom of the heap, those who have been abused by the very people who should have looked after them, is, as home secretary, my job, but I also see it is as my moral duty.
The threat from the far right is as corrosive as the twisted Islamist ideologies so many Muslims have spoken out against.
We must not let hate win.
The public must have confidence in our ability to control immigration - in terms of type and volume - from within the E.U. That is why, once we have left the E.U., this government will apply its own immigration rules and requirements that will meet the needs of U.K. businesses, but also of wider society.
I believe in the state as a power for good.
Yes, good presentation is a vehicle for enhancing people and policies. But if the presentation fails, we have to look beyond the wrapping and see what is actually contained in the package, to see the substance of it.
Encryption plays a fundamental role in protecting us all online. It is key to growing the digital economy and delivering public services online. But, like many powerful technologies, encrypted services are used and abused by a small minority of people.

Britain First has deeply ignoble form on trying to 'hijack' the poppy to increase their popularity and donations.
Most of the people I came across in the finance and business world were honest people, doing the best for their staff and for their family. But I encountered many who weren't.
If you can't trust your boss - or your pension company - to take care of your investment, who can you trust? The vast majority of company chiefs take their responsibilities seriously and protect their workers' final salary pensions. But for too long, the reckless few playing fast and loose with people's futures have got away scot-free.
No woman should live in fear, and every girl should feel protected.
It is troubling that modern slavery is a crime that can be hidden in the supply chains of the goods and services we use every day. The uncomfortable reality is that the money we spend could be driving demand for slavery across the globe.
Protecting children at risk of exploitation will always be a priority, and at the other end, safeguarding an ageing population brings its own challenges.
Britain has united to send a strong message to anyone who seeks to peddle hate. Together we are stronger. Together we can beat hate.
We must keep attracting the brightest and best migrants from around the world. And we must implement a new immigration system after we leave the E.U. that gives us control and works in all of our interests.
Put simply, the U.K. must remain a hub for international talent.
Bringing up children on my own was quite a busy time.
I'm committed to working with business, both large and small, to make sure we don't impose unnecessary burdens or create damaging labour shortages.
The enemy online is fast. They are ruthless. They prey on the vulnerable and disenfranchised. They use the very best of innovation for the most evil of ends.
We have a cadre of home-grown cyber-skilled professionals to meet the demands of an increasingly digital world, in the public and private sectors and in defence.
Labour are a danger to our security and our economy and are wholly incapable of negotiating the best Brexit deal for Britain.
We work incredibly hard with our E.U. and international partners to make the online space a hostile one for terrorists.
Pervasive 'whites-only' policies and hateful narratives could not be further from the values that underpin our Armed Forces: those of integrity, respect for others, and having the bravery to do the right thing.
We stand for law and order, so we will not allow the scourge of violence to infect our communities.
Before entering Parliament, I spent my career in the city and in business.
What is clear is that stalking can happen to anyone. Doctors are targeted by patients, people in the public eye are watched by obsessed fans, and ex-wives are followed by former husbands.
Stalking is a cruel and incessant crime with often terrifying consequences. Victims can be tormented for years, left too scared to leave their homes and unnerved by the slightest unexpected sound.
Modern slavery is a barbaric crime. Each and every case is a both a tragedy and an affront to our values of decency and kindness.
We can't treat issues as taboo because we find them unpleasant.
Let there be no doubt: we will be tough on terror wherever it strikes.
The U.K. government has been clear that it wants to use the opportunity of leaving the E.U. to design a future immigration system that works in the best interests of the country. A key part of this system must be creating an environment that allows us to achieve sustainable levels of net migration.
I'm absolutely committed to Hastings.
I hadn't really thought about politics as a career in my twenties or early thirties.

One of the biggest challenges for any Home Secretary - indeed, any government - is how we deal with emerging threats.

Britain First, the English Defence League, the British National Party, and the National Front are all guilty of using British symbols and institutions (notably support for the Armed Forces) to attempt to further their own deeply objectionable beliefs.
Tackling violence on our streets is a complex problem, and we need not only all parties, but whole communities to come together to tackle it.
When hard-working Brits hand over a chunk of their pay cheque every month so they can look forward to a decent retirement, they are expecting bosses to look after it. That's something you should be able to take for granted.
Taking action at an early stage - even before a prosecution may be possible - could stop stalkers becoming fixated.
