My dad had died when I was four, so after my mum passed away, it was her parents - my amazing Nanna and Grandad - who took me in.

We should be redoubling our own efforts to combat climate change, not watering them down.

What's most disappointing about May's failure on climate change is that Britain played such a pivotal role in securing international agreement on it in the first place.

Brexiteers often hark back to the blitz. Maybe they think the 'Britain standing alone' motif adds much-needed heroic purpose to a Brexit future in which Britain stands without trading partners or allies to tackle climate change.

Caring is tough.

I am not going to give up on renewable energy.

We fought hard for green taxes and won.

I don't ever talk about red lines whether in coalition negotiations with other partners or in Europe. It is important that we listen to others and find a way forward.

I'd say that I'm a pro-European.

Britain's energy markets were a mess in 2010.

We need to invest in home-grown clean energy that will bring cheaper prices in the long run, shielding consumers from volatile international fossil fuel markets.

On climate change, Britain is leading in Europe.

Climate change is putting pressures on the resources we need to survive: water; agricultural land; food.

A credible and effective response to climate change - which protects future generations from an unacceptable level of risk - needs the involvement of all countries.

We have been developing an ever closer relationship with China on climate change for many years which has led to collaboration on carbon trading, offshore wind development, on low-carbon buildings, on nuclear energy, and on carbon capture and storage - to name just some of the ways in which we're working together.

People need to understand what a party is about. And you can't define a party by an issue which will go, which is transitional.

When I fought the Tories over climate change and won, more than trebling renewable power with a new subsidy policy combining state intervention with competitive market forces, it was world-beatingly radical.

Offshore oil and gas has proven to be a vital strategic resource for the United Kingdom. Not only has it contributed to Britain's energy security over decades, but it has supported hundreds of thousands of jobs across the country and contributed hundreds of billions of pounds in taxes to the economy.

When we fight to uphold the rule of law, it's vital we uphold the rule of law as we fight. Otherwise we simply play into the hands of the terrorists and undermine our values and system of justice.

What I saw in my first year as secretary of state was a danger that if Britain didn't lead the way on climate change nothing would happen. I thought: If I don't lead, no one else is going to.
