I never get tired of talking about food. I do getting tired of fighting governments when they are so clearly not putting the best interest of the children forward.

I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact. We're not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.

I profoundly believe that the power of food has a primal place in our homes that binds us to the best bits of life.

Just because the Americans are so good at rattling out accessible and cheap junk food, nobody looks twice when it comes to their food. But there are golden nuggets everywhere.

My aim is to achieve sustainable change, not just make a cute little makeover.

Industry, economy, honesty and kindness form a quartet of virtue that will never be improved upon.

I like ties but I prefer not to wear one when I'm nervous.
