I'm a decentralizer. I believe in trusting professionals.

We need a national ambition to build hundreds of thousands of new homes a year, both private and socially-rented - led by someone who will not take no for an answer and who will push for diggers in the ground and homes for all come what may.

The big shift in approach on education that we are taking - which is different from what happened before - is that we trust teachers and we trust heads.

There are huge challenges ahead for this country but also huge opportunities. We can make this country stronger and fairer.

If we are to make the most of the opportunities ahead we need a bold break with the past.

It is a belief in human potential that has guided me through my time in Government.

I have come, reluctantly, to the conclusion that Boris [Johnson] cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead.
