I know what it's like to see someone lose their job as a result of the European Union. I saw my father lose his job, I saw his business go to the wall, I saw 24 people who he employed also lose their jobs.

One of reasons I was able to go to university was because of the sacrifices my family made.

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.

Turkey will "inevitably" join the EU in our lifetime unless we vote to leave.

I will ensure we honour the instructions the British people have given us. I argued for specific changes in the referendum campaign, I believe in them, I will deliver them.

One of the problems we have is children are not in school long enough in the day and during the year.

I'm clear that we do need to improve what's happening in our schools.
