I did maths for a year at university. I don't think I was very good at it. And some people would say it shows.

I think that's a bit unfair. I'm a father with a 2-year-old child and I feel pretty young, actually.

I admired and valued Robin as a colleague and friend and as one of the greatest parliamentarians of our time. His wife Gaynor and his two sons are in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm a father; that's what matters most. Nothing matters more.

This is a Budget for Britain's future to secure fairness for each child and invest in every child
