If everybody on the NHS principle contributed a little, it would mean everybody could protect the majority of what they'd worked for.

I think social care in England is as unfair as American healthcare. The vulnerable pay with everything and it can completely leave them with nothing.

Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.

The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone’s to sell.

There are people in the benefits system – young people in their 20s – who have been quite seriously let down, because the support wasn’t there for them when it should’ve been there.

There is no early general election, and the thing I would say to you is 20 plus – how many million people you just mentioned voted for a manifesto, we’re in a parliamentary democracy so that is what people voted for.

Bridget Phillipson, as party chair, will help drive the culture change our party needs, working alongside Lucy Powell and me to ensure Labour remains focused on delivering for working people.

I think we should have a bit more of a spring in our step.

Britain will value the hard hat every bit as much as the graduation cap

The whole school system has been built around it and that has let down young people seeking technical qualifications.

I wouldn’t get carried away by any poll. I’m pleased to have made a start where hopefully I’ve connected with people.

The emotion of that moment was, well, bittersweet if you know what I mean, it was painful in one way, but beautiful in another.

I don’t think the nation would thank me, would they, if I brought Axel down to disturb Larry’s world?

I think he’s going to have to stay up north I think, because he’s kind of got that angry little man thing going on.

But it feels as though something has changed. It’s easy to blame social media, but it feels like it’s having some impact in just building that kind of toxicity that’s around the political debate.

It’s obviously appalling what happened to Ann. I knew Ann over many years in the House, and you know, we would get along – and everybody would get along.

It seems that somebody within, I don't know, 100 yards of me could say something, and then all of a sudden, it's my policy.

I want to ensure that our education system leaves no dead ends for our young people.

Fixing the youth unemployment crisis in Britain will require a major shake-up in how we do things – and that’s what this government will do.

I want an education system based on parity between academic and technical which gives all young people a clear path in life.

For too long in this country, students have been told that you must take the academic path to do well and to be respected.

Whether you choose construction, coding or classics, you’ll get the skills you need and be given the respect you deserve.

I cannot accept the situation where we have so many young people in their 20s on benefits. It’s just not right for them. And why do we have that? The support just isn’t there.

But the trend is down, and the number of people being removed is up, so the figures are pointing in a better direction. But there is much more to do.

There have to be rigorous checks so that people are not put through into a situation where they are out without the relevant safeguards, and absolutely, I can give you a commitment that that is the clear instruction that I am giving. That…
