The biggest opportunities from Brexit will come from more trade with the rest of the world.
Quote by -Liz Truss
From Brompton bikes in Australia to Bentleys in the US - the world wants what Britain has to sell.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Britain is the ideas factory of the world and has huge potential to benefit from the next technological revolution. Our future lies in being a high skilled, high innovation, free enterprise nation.
Quote by -Liz Truss
In Westminster, we can sometimes forget just how much the public hate their money being wasted.
Quote by -Liz Truss
As Chief Secretary to the Treasury, my first responsibility is to the taxpayer.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Traditionally, Conservatives have argued that low taxes are a route to self-determination. I agree. It is vital we keep taxes low and the size of the state in check, to allow people to spend more of their own money.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Opinion polls show that millennials are focused, aspirational and entrepreneurial. The young people I meet want more freedom - to start firms, keep more of what they earn, and move to areas with opportunities without paying a fortune.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Britain and the US remain the Wild West for ideas, where pioneers push each other towards ever greater heights in the white heat of free enterprise. No one knows their place, no one fears failure and no one is ashamed of success.
Quote by -Liz Truss
With Anglo-American capitalism increasingly under attack, those who believe in the power of free markets and enterprise to create wealth and social progress must stand up and be counted and champion our way of life.
Quote by -Liz Truss
When I travel around the country, I see great companies with new ideas and a can-do attitude. But too often they are in hand-to-hand and pen-to-paper combat with officialdom.
Quote by -Liz Truss
If John McDonnell nationalised whole industries, they would be quickly taken over by bureaucrats more concerned about their careers than about customers. Except this time, there will be no choice and nowhere to turn when things go wrong.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell have made no secret of their desire to stamp out individualism and enterprise.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Britain is the home of economic freedom, with liberty guaranteed by the independence of our state institutions, and an absence of corruption assured by transparency.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I believe one of the main roles of Government is to keep our economy free and fair.
Quote by -Liz Truss
It is right that people and businesses retain as much of their own money as possible so that they have the freedom to innovate and invest in the future.
Quote by -Liz Truss
We don't know what's around the corner - and we must do everything to ensure we get our country's debts down, building our resilience so we don't repeat the mistakes of the past.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I am delighted to be at the heart of this team of radical reformers in Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Nick Boles and many others. It's a team I believe will deliver the change Britain needs.
Quote by -Liz Truss
All of us in Parliament now have a responsibility to get on with the process of leaving the EU and securing a more prosperous future for Britain as an open, global, trading nation.
Quote by -Liz Truss
From better access to American markets for our beef and lamb farmers, to cutting tariffs on dairy products like cheese, which are up to 17 per cent, there are significant opportunities for UK farming.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Kitchen-table start-ups and local entrepreneurs will find they have major new opportunities opened to them, as they gain easier and quicker access for their goods and services into one of the world's largest markets.
Quote by -Liz Truss
The US is our largest trading partner and increasing transatlantic trade can help our economies bounce back from the economic challenge posed by coronavirus.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Trade is critical to us all - it ensures we have what we need to live, that the NHS gets the equipment it needs to save lives, and that developing countries can prosper.
Quote by -Liz Truss
And certainly having gone to Oxford, and seen some of the other students there, I wouldn't say the ones at my school were less capable. They could've been there.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Schools receive 12% more per student for those doing media studies or psychology than they do for those doing maths. You could change that around, made a premium on doing maths.
Quote by -Liz Truss
In other countries you can do high-level maths or general maths, whereas we've just got all-or-nothing. We need to give people another option from 16-18. Not everyone is going to want to become a rocket scientist but that doesn't mean that maths isn't extremely useful.
Quote by -Liz Truss
A UK-Australia trade deal won't just be a good thing, it'll be a great thing, for our businesses, for our consumers, for our workers and for our two great countries.
Quote by -Liz Truss
It's a merger of home life and work life. They aren't that separate, I must confess, and my daughters know an awful lot about childcare reform now because of it.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I'm saying the excessive focus on what gender a person is, rather than what they do, does a disservice to women.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I don't like tokenism. I don't like the idea that somebody should just appear at a press conference or in a media interview because they are a woman.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I have to admit I don't like pizza. I love it. And I am prepared to do literally anything to get my hands on a slice.
Quote by -Liz Truss
All of my parents' friends worked in public sector jobs. The teachers at my school were quite often card-carrying members of the Labour Party and it just was not part of the culture to approve of what the government was doing.
Quote by -Liz Truss
We spent a lot of time talking about politics at home. We went to the camp at Greenham Common.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I was Margaret Thatcher in the school election during the 1983 General Election.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I want Britain to lead the world in food and farming and to do that we need enough productive agricultural land.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I love Britain. It really worries me, the prospect of Ed Miliband propped up by Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP and what that could do to our country. It's absolutely right that we highlight to voters that potential risk.
Quote by -Liz Truss
It's absolutely right that we scrutinise the leaders who after all are going to be in a position of great power.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I admire Peter Mandleson's chutzpah and the way he transformed the Labour party but not his dubious ideas about Europe and industrial policy.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I think we've got caught up in the weeds of Brexit, and... the approach has been to try and compromise and split the difference. And that to me is not what Brexit is about.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I didn't become a Tory just to become part of a managerial group who wanted to run the country... I want to see popular free-market Conservatism where barriers are broken down, people have got more opportunities but keep more of their own money.
