Most of us have embraced digital technology, and depend on it more and more in our daily lives, both at home and at work.
The illegal wildlife trade has an unacceptable human cost for those who have lived for centuries in harmony with wildlife.
Like my constituents, I have had to immerse myself in the detail about HS2 precisely because of the massive and permanent impact it would have on the area I represent.

While the circumstances of any one situation are unique, it is clear that many families could have been helped if they had found it easier to talk openly about mental health challenges in the home.
Although I wanted to Remain, I know the E.U. is not perfect. I have attended more than enough of its council meetings and read enough of its commission papers to understand its flaws.
No individual, no organization, no government is above the law.
We could choose to leave as a country split and an economy disjointed, struggling to make our way in a new world outside the E.U. Or we can come together as one United Kingdom, confidently seizing new global opportunities as we build a prosperous, secure nation fit for the future challenges we will face.
When Theresa May asked me to resolve policy disagreements between ministers, my power to do that depended on the fact that I was acting on her behalf with her delegated authority.
Conservatives believe in patriotism, but equally in community and the importance of local identity. We believe in devolution. We believe in localism. We believe that decisions should be taken locally wherever is practical; that communities matter.
We can restore E.U. growth through reducing regulation, strengthening governance, pushing ahead with free trade agreements and strengthening the single market.
I am the man who stands on the stage spinning plates on the top of poles. Every now and then the PM gives me another plate and I have to keep that going as well.
Government has learned a lot from the business world - and I hope that some companies will recognise they can learn from each other, too.
Moving to a new school, or up a year at an existing school - with new friends, teachers, subjects, rules and expectation - is a big deal for young people. All of us who are adults remember how daunting it was, but we sometimes take it for granted that children will be able to cope with the change.
A desire to see significant reform and change is perfectly compatible with our belief that membership of the E.U. is in our national interest.
As our digitally connected world continues to expand, the inherent vulnerabilities in the systems we rely on provide ever greater opportunities for those who want to exploit them.
The threat from cyber criminals and nation states continues to grow. So we need to forge closer partnerships with industry, academia and civil society, and develop the profession to create a more diverse workforce.
The public is interested in the service it receives, not the mechanism that delivers it.
In Africa, animals and the natural landscape allow local communities to support themselves, as there is a constant source of money from tourism.
The proudest citizen of Aberdeen, Plymouth, Coleraine or Wrexham can also take huge pride in being part of the United Kingdom.
The closer you get to Number 10 the more you see what a back-breaking job that is, the pressure is absolutely constant and the loss of privacy is almost complete so I don't have ambitions in that direction and there is no vacancy nor likely to be during my time in politics.
We must do better by offenders who are sent to prison to make them less likely to return.
The men and women who work in our prisons are the unsung heroes of the criminal justice system.
Time spent travelling was assumed to be unproductive and a monetary value attributed to the minutes that would be saved from a speedier journey that allowed people to get from one office to another more quickly. I've always thought that that case was weak.
In many countries, the authority of the state is weak and openly defied by militias and terrorist groups. In others, state forces themselves act with impunity.
Being part of the E.U. is central to how we in the U.K. create jobs, expand trade and protect our interests around the world.
I want to see prison numbers come down. We need better custody that cuts reoffending and crime. And we need to ensure judges, magistrates and the public have full confidence in the other penalties available.
Prison conditions in some parts of the world can be very poor, overcrowded and, in some cases, dangerous and sentences can be much tougher than in the U.K.
Sometimes getting something off your chest to someone else is an important step in coping - so you know that you're not alone, you're not failing, and that it is perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed or sad at times. Everybody does.
Corbyn is about 1970s Bennite control.
A stable, prosperous and peaceful Ukraine is in the interests of everyone in the region.
Cybersecurity is one of my main priorities, as well as the government's, and we are committed to making the U.K. the safest place to live and do business online.
After we leave the E.U., the British Standards Institute should also remain a member of the European Standards Organisation, which is not an E.U. institution.
People are mistaken if they think the Foreign Office can get you out of jail. We can't, but we will work hard to try and ensure your safety, and that you get a fair trial.
It is in our nations' interests to see a strong European Union with a growing economy, competitive on the world market.
Open and fair competition within free markets encourages innovation, meaning fresh perspectives can be applied. The private sector also brings skills and knowledge to bear on what can often be complex issues.
There's going to be a need for a system of cooperation within the continent of Europe including the U.K. that covers both economic and political cooperation.
Like anyone from any party who has stood for election, I've often had the depressing experience of meeting an 18- or 19-year-old new voter on the doorstep and being told: 'I'm not interested in voting' or 'none of this matters to me.'
Every voter in Ukraine should have their say on the future they want for their country.
I really believe that a child's mental health is just as important as his or her physical health.
Prisons are out of public sight, and most often out of mind. But the vast majority of prisoners will at some point leave jail and rejoin our communities, which is why what happens inside matters to us all.
Russia and China deride western democracy and deploy both hard and soft power to promote their alternative models of political development.

The truth is, for many young people, the changing schools or starting a new academic year is really difficult to deal with.
If we could end the old fashioned idea that feeling down is something to be ashamed of, something that you shouldn't burden others with, we would make our society a much happier and healthier place.
Our competitors outside Europe are manufacturing goods cheaper and better. Through innovation, other countries are producing new products which we do not make yet, but which we could.
Every European country faces threats which ignore national frontiers: pandemics, climate change, terrorism and organised crime.
As the Eurozone takes steps towards closer fiscal and economic integration, and as the E.U. continues to develop, we need to be absolutely clear when it is most appropriate to take decisions at the national or local level, closer to the people affected, and in other cases when it is best to take action at the E.U. or global level.
Russia is a major power; it should live up to its international responsibilities.
