Did we get anything like the sort of reform that would make the EU work better? No. Not even close. And worse, even with the certainty of a UK referendum following the negotiation, it is clear that there was no appetite amongst European leaders for anything more than a few minor concessions.

Prosperity should be our goal, not austerity.

I say to all who are legally here, that you will be welcome to stay.

I think it's incredibly basic: we have to now deliver all of the huge advantages of trading with the 92 per cent of people in the world who aren't in the EU, so for me that was the final deciding factor.

I think it is very difficult for somebody who campaigned to stay in, who thinks there will be disaster if we leave and so on to suddenly turn it around and start believing that we can make a go of it.

The great news is we have an all-female shortlist with no positive discrimination or anything, isn't that fantastic?

I want to lead a nation where anyone who aims high can achieve their dreams.
