We campaigned on the fact that we were going to have to take difficult decisions because of the state of the public finances. When we got into government we discovered that actually the public finances were in an even worse state than we thought.
There's much more we can be doing in Parliament, we could be giving more power back to people at local government level, through local referendums.
So we mustn't lower our guard in any sense because of what has happened in terms of the death of Osama Bin Laden and we are certainly not doing that. The terror threat level here in the U.K. remains at severe and we're very conscious of the need to continue that.
We've got a first class leader at the moment. David Cameron is dealing with the issues that he was left by the last government very well indeed.
The universities have got a job here as well in making sure that people actually understand that we're open for university students coming into the U.K. There's a job here not just for the government, I think there's a job for the universities as well to make sure that people know that we are open.
No, I can tell you one of the first things that happens to a home secretary when they arrive in the job is that they are given a briefing about the security matters that they will be dealing with and I deal with security matters on a daily basis.
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.
For voters what matters is what government actually delivers for them.
I believe in marriage. I believe marriage is a really important institution, it's one of the most important institutions we have.
National security is the first duty of government but we are also committed to reversing the substantial erosion of civil liberties.
It's always an interesting experience for a politician to be heard in silence, I have to say.
I think for voters what matters is the values that drive the government.
Just as the police review their operational tactics, so we in the Home Office will review the powers available to the police.
I'm not someone who feels anger on particular issues.
