As long as there are people in education making excuses for failure, cursing future generations with a culture of low expectations, denying children access to the best that has been thought and written, because Nemo and the Mister Men are more relevant, the battle needs to be joined.

Proper history teaching is being crushed under the weight of play-based pedagogy which infantilises children, teachers and our culture.

The challenges facing Britain required not just a cool head, but a heart burning with the desire for change - not business as usual but a bold vision.

The British people voted for change.They sent us a clear instruction that they want Britain to leave the European Union and end the supremacy of EU law.

Now that Britain has voted to leave, I think the country deserves to have a leader who believes in Britain outside the European Union and who also has experience at the highest level of government.

Adopting means opening your home, and heart, to a life you've never known. But there is nothing as richly rewarding as being an adoptive parent.

I felt we needed someone to lead this country who believed heart and soul in leaving the European Union.
