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

Let me first of all congratulate both of the candidates who have made it through - both Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom are formidable politicians and they have fought great campaigns and they deserve to be in the final two.

The accumulation of cultural capital - the acquisition of knowledge - is the key to social mobility.

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

We need to face the fact that we need more money in order to deliver Jeremy Hunt's absolutely correct drive to guarantee even better standards of care.

The British prime minister will want to have a strong and positive relationship with European leaders always.

The reason I entered politics was a belief that the people of this country - having achieved so much that was good and noble in our past - had the potential to do amazing things in the future.
