I do not believe that as a country we are completely ill-prepared for no-deal Brexit. It is not the optimal solution it is not the best outcome for Britain, we will do much better than people expect.
I want prisons to be spartan, but humane, a place people don't have a particular desire to come back to.
We cannot do anything that exposes the country to the risk of Jeremy Corbyn.
You chastise children when they are bad, as my parents did me. I'm not opposed to smacking. It is to be used occasionally.
I'm not suggesting we suddenly become a jingoistic, closed-door society that erects barricades at Dover. That would not be in the interests of London. But we can't, in my view, go on for ever accepting an unlimited number of people.
If we have unlimited migration in perpetuity, the pressure that will put on the lives of those in and around London and the South-East, in terms of housing and pressure on public services, will be something that all of us come to understand, in my view, is simply not copable with.
Whatever your race, colour or creed in London, you still want your children to get on the housing ladder. You still want spaces in hospitals or GP surgeries, you want school places and you want space on the trains in the mornings.
Government is about priorities.
Leaving school or college and heading out into the world of work is never easy, even in good times. It's a huge transition as well as a practical challenge.
A something-for-nothing culture does no one any favours. It makes those who are doing the right thing cynical.
In an ideal world, no one should get something for nothing.
We need to scrap the Human Rights Act and need a balance between rights and responsibilities.
I don't think all the cycle lanes in London have been designed as well as they should have been.
Motorists in London have got to be immensely careful of cyclists. At the same time, cyclists in London are too often unwilling to obey the road signs. I've seen regular examples of people who just bolt through red lights.
People who end up in our prisons tend to come from the most difficult backgrounds. They did not have the parental support as they grew up, as many of us enjoyed, and they struggle when they leave prison.
This is not rocket science. If you mentor and support people when they leave prison they're less likely to reoffend.
One thing really important is that we set out an agenda of compassionate Conservativism. That's what I've been trying to do in the Justice Department.
We've got a very poor record on unnecessary red tape; extra cost to business; people being asked to do things they don't need to; over the top regulation, misinterpreted regulation, poor guidelines.
We are concerned about benefit tourism.
It was never the case that prisoners were simply allowed unlimited parcels - books or otherwise... It would be a logistical impossibility to search them all, and they would provide an easy route for illegal materials.
