I have been the only female minister in every government department I've worked in.

I hate rodents. I mean, the House of Commons is completely infested. I will stand on a chair if I see one of the things.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I think every woman in this country will understand what it means to be mansplained to. It happens in everyday life - you know, if you go into a shop, or you're talking about finance.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I want people to buy British because it's the tastiest food and the most exciting food.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I'm proud to say like many of my colleagues in the Conservative Party I am fully behind Theresa May's Brexit plans.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Leaving the European Union really does give us a chance as a country to become more outward-looking, to become more competitive, and to deepen our links with our partners right across the world.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Economics and finance is the final frontier for women; it's the last thing they will conquer because controlling finance is at the heart of everything in government.
Quote by -Liz Truss
It's vital to our economic mission that we fight vested interests, and make sure our country's opportunities are open to everyone - big or small, north or south, man or woman.
Quote by -Liz Truss
As Chief Secretary to the Treasury, I aim to be the disrupter in chief; I want to challenge those who aim to block change, stop development and restrict success. I want to challenge the caution that strangles risk-takers and go-getters.
Quote by -Liz Truss
It's almost 10 years since the 2008 crisis, but we all still remember the consequences of ignoring threats to the public finances.
Quote by -Liz Truss
What I saw when I went to France was that really good quality education and childcare is seen there as a completely normal part of everyday life.
Quote by -Liz Truss
The British brand is so popular particularly in the US that they put the union jack flag on top of beer bottles because it sells.
Quote by -Liz Truss
We're trendsetters, first to welcome brilliant inventions into our lives, from the microwave meal to Instagram. Britain is a nation of Uber-riding, Deliveroo-eating, Airbnb-ing freedom fighters.
Quote by -Liz Truss
We want a fully comprehensive trade deal that reflects our deep, ongoing relationship, the friendship between our two countries, the fact that Australians want to come and live and work in Britain, and Brits want to come and live and work in Australia.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Parliament should start earlier in the day and finish earlier. Otherwise I love it.
Quote by -Liz Truss
What you notice in French nurseries is just how calm they are. All of their classes are structured and led by teachers. It's a requirement.
Quote by -Liz Truss
People won't want powers being handed back from bureaucrats in Brussels to be given to bureaucrats in Britain. Our aim should be to give the British people greater control of their lives in all regards.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Taking control of our laws border and money, run not by a bunch of overpaid bureaucrats in Brussels but by a bunch of overpaid bureaucrats in Britain. That ladies and gentlemen is a dream worth fighting for.
Quote by -Liz Truss
In London the average person is paying 50 per cent of their income on rent. Just think how much better off people would feel if that number was a lot lower.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I had never met anyone of my own age that was a Tory, so going to university and seeing people who were Tories and who believed in what I believed in was an eye-opener.
Quote by -Liz Truss
We've been prepared to make the arguments for lowering corporation tax, which is all about encouraging risk takers, encouraging entrepreneurs, and I observe that for the vast majority of the Labour government we had a top rate of 40 per cent income tax. It's now higher, and I think we should look to get to a simpler, lower tax system.
Quote by -Liz Truss
If we just had an election which is a kind of desiccated calculation, obviously I think the Conservatives have the best economic plans, but it is about more than that. It is about the overall person.
Quote by -Liz Truss
The free market is fundamentally humane and democratic, driven by ideas and millions of individual choices about what to do with our money which defy those who benefit from the status quo.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Labour want to control all parts of the economy and society so that they can pursue the politics of envy. It would leave us all paying higher taxes and the economy in tatters.
Quote by -Liz Truss
When I started my ministerial job I brought my daughters into the Department, due to last-minute childcare complications. We had meetings throughout the day and the girls had to play outside the office while mummy went to 'boring' meetings.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Every pound that comes into the Exchequer was earned by someone through hard work, and could have been used for a new car, a holiday or a treat for the children. It means I have a responsibility to make sure that all public spending is justified.
Quote by -Liz Truss
In order to retain our position as the dynamic duo of the world, it's vital that in the UK and US we keep opportunities open for new people and new ideas. And we can never allow our economies to get furred up.
Quote by -Liz Truss
We have lots of roadside stands in Norfolk where you can just pick up vegetables that people have grown in their garden and put the money in a pot.
Quote by -Liz Truss
When I left university I got a job with Shell on their graduate scheme. One of my roles was as a commercial manager for liquid natural gas shipping, project economics and contract negotiation.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Let's cut the top rates of stamp duty to enable more movement to take place and also looking at the broader tax reform, simplifying our tax system.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Coronavirus may well represent the biggest health crisis any of us experience in our lifetimes.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I feel I'm fortunate compared with a lot of parents in being able to afford a nanny but, you know, it's expensive. When we've looked into trying to find a full daycare place in London it's just been impossible. You just cannot get one.
Quote by -Liz Truss
We are fighting a Labour Party whose avowed enemy is capitalist bosses, whose instinct is to see income as a common pool resource, and whose leading figures find profit morally repugnant.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I try to be as clear and straight as I can in what I am putting forward. I think people are fed up with politicians where there are lots of bland lines to take.
Quote by -Liz Truss
We are working hard at home and on the international stage to further identify the problems on the horizon and to ensure we reboot trade post-Covid-19.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Free-flow play is not compulsory, but there is a belief across lots of nurseries that it is. I have seen too many chaotic settings, where children are running around. There's no sense of purpose.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I was interested in the ideas - freedom, free speech and having control of my own life. That's why I became a Tory.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Brexit has energised millions of people, young and old, to take part in our democracy and that's a great thing.
Quote by -Liz Truss
I campaigned for the UK to stay in the European Union but the country chose a different path.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Choice is a national instinct. This capitalist bedrock of our prosperity and security is threatened by a Labour Party that wants to overthrow the whole system.
Quote by -Liz Truss
And after Brexit, we will be free to determine our economic future, with control over our money, laws and borders.
Quote by -Liz Truss
Election campaigns always have to have colour and excitement and interest. People want to know about the details of politicians, what they like doing in their spare time, about their families. I think that's human.
Quote by -Liz Truss
As Trade Secretary I see the world is waiting. The Australians, the Americans, the Kiwis, the Japanese - they all want us to get Brexit done so that we can begin negotiations and forge new relationships that will open up new markets for British businesses, create jobs and attract new investment.
