Quote by Chris Grayling

“The Conservative Party isn't electing a leader in opposition after losing a general election who can build up over five years and gain experience. We're electing somebody who's going to be our prime minister in two months' time, and that's why it's very important we have somebody with strong experience, who's good at working with the international community and can hit the ground running.”

That would be the humane thing to do and I even at this stage hope that that's a direction they will take.”

“There's a truly unbelievable story in the paper today, that a young brother and sister... have been turned down for adoption by their own grandparents...
