Theresa May says...

Ooooh. I love her speech at the Conservative Party Conference, which is available at the Tory website.

An excerpt here though:

We have to show that we are a Party comfortable with Britain as it is today.

A Party representative of men and women --- of every age, race, and religion.

A Party as at home in the cities as it is in the country.

A Party as confident about the future as it is about the past.

And we must reflect that --- not just in our words --- but in our attitudes.

In today's Britain, the vast majority of people regard equality between man and women as so obvious it doesn't even need stating.

And yet, for too long, in too many parts of this Party, the assumption has been that politics is a man's job.

And the other parties aren't much better.

But Margaret Thatcher proved that your ability to lead your country depends on your talent and your courage, not on whether you are a man or a woman.

And for the small minority who don't accept women --- or black or gay people --- as their equals, I've got a message.

Don't think you'll find a refuge from the modern world here.

There is no place for you in our Conservative Party.

Because every day that we are unwilling to embrace a future in which all men and women respect each other as absolute equals -- is another day we will be out of government.

But I'm optimistic.

I know we're moving forward.

That's why our benches have been swelled by great new MPs like Adam Afriyie, Shailesh Vara, Maria Miller, and Anne Milton.

I know that all of you, the real Conservative Party, are with them and with me.

And anyone who wants to stop us had better get out of our way.

Theresa May for Tory leader!!!
