I said to the President that we will take a pragmatic approach to the North Sea because we have to recognise the reality of where we are as a country.

The idea that it could even be brought forward shows that, in my view, that he is the wrong man to lead the organisation.

This is a day when all of the forgotten places across Britain - and there are many of them - this is a day when they can all feel heard today.

The biggest council housebuilding programme since the postwar period

If you don’t give people a good home, what chance have they got of having a good life?

There is a resource there. When people are struggling, we can’t ignore that. Hence, me indicating that to the president.

I know what it’s like to be ignored by politicians in Westminster. I’m not going to make that same mistake now I’m PM.

My view is strengthening – this was an outrageous suggestion.

People, I think, would assume that the highest standards apply to this area and we’ve got to make sure that they do apply and that there can’t be any repeat of what we’ve seen.

I do back those calls, and there were recommendations in the Fuller Report that will be implemented because we have seen appalling situations like this before.

I want to really look in detail at that proposal, and my instincts are that we need to find ways of not reducing access to jury trial.

I have my concerns about the plan to restrict a jury trial, partly from my personal experience, particularly in Hillsborough.

I do think Baroness Casey will make the changes we need.

In an ideal world I would not want anyone to have to sell their home to pay for care, describing it as a 'really awful process'.

I think we owe it to the public before we talk about tax rises.. you first have to look the public in the eye and say 'Are we doing everything we can do from within what we've got?'

I do worry about that and I've seen that in relation to my kids and their situation.

It seems to me to then work against people who have that side to their character and work for those who are just giving the more formulaic answer.

How do you get over some of your personality, your passion?

One thing I really don't like is this culture now of interviewing via Zoom or Teams.

I indicated in the phone call that we had a week last Monday that I would take a pragmatic approach when it comes to the North Sea, and that is my intention as we go forward from here.

The submarines produced in Barrow will protect Britain for decades to come, and the 47,000 jobs and apprenticeships will change lives both in this town and in dozens of places like it.

Security is not only about what we build, it is about who builds it, and who benefits from it.

I told President Trump this week: "There is a resource there. When people are struggling - you can't ignore that."

This was an outrageous suggestion. The idea that it could even be brought forward shows that, in my view, [he] is the wrong man to lead the organisation.

They don't have to go for all of the things that are being suggested here, but, you know, we think these things will start to provide an answer to the low growth Britain has experienced over the last decade and more places start to see…
