Of course now we know that couldn't be further from the truth, that the subjects that keep young people's options open and unlock doors to all sorts of careers are the Stem subjects.

I didn't think I was the right person to do that job but I do think Michael Gove is and that's why I'm backing him.

What is good is the fact that we've got a broad selection of candidates [for Prime Minister]... to choose from, representing a diverse set of backgrounds, a diverse set of perspectives.

I have concluded unequivocally that the right person is Michael Gove and I am delighted to be endorsing his candidacy.

I think this is what we must not lose sight of, present a confident, positive and optimistic platform for our country's future in which this Party appeals to the centre ground of British politics.

I think honestly that Michael [Gove] came to this decision[Prime Minister candidate] very late, that he needed to step up.

Of course now we know that couldn't be further from the truth, that the subjects that keep young people's options open and unlock doors to all sorts of careers are the Stem subjects.
