Whatever political capital I have, I will put in to fixing broken social care, and I would not want to leave office without having brought in the substantial change, the new system of social care that you described.

I will go as quickly as I can on the reform of social care... I think there are major changes you can make before the next election.

There are big decisions ahead, you are right about that.

The thing I’m just pushing back on is this idea that we go to a kind of crude approach, crude cuts to benefits to get the welfare bill down.

I am going to look at what’s been said during the consultation. I mentioned social care before, and I see people contributing to our society by working in social care who’ve in many cases come from around the world to work there or work in…

It was a very warm meeting, I thought I would get on well with him, and I did, we got on very well indeed. And this is going to be a close partnership.

Yes, I can say that quite clearly, that won’t be happening …

I am talking a lot about Britain believing again and getting its hope back … I think we should have a bit more of a spring in our step.

He will get exactly the same from me.

My support for Ukraine is unwavering - it is 100%. And I will do what, in Ukraine, people think is the right thing that they need.

I like to make an entrance

The onus is on me not to be another one who just doesn't change things

It's about changing the nature of the support and making some of the support conditional upon people taking opportunities that are presented in front of them.

I couldn't put a timeline on it right here, right now

The NHS will collapse

In the 1980s Britain took some wrong turns. Political power was centralised, economic power privatised, large parts of the country deindustrialised, and they still haven't recovered.

This week, the three policies I've announced – ending rough sleeping, the bus cap we're announcing today, and the removal of VAT off electricity bills – are all fully funded, and that's the way I will go.

I'm also trying to do politics differently, as I did when I was mayor of Greater Manchester.

I am committed to ending the blight of rough sleeping across Britain.

Of course, there will still be those who say it can’t be done. But we proved them wrong in Manchester. And we’re going to prove them wrong again on a bigger scale.

I want all places to have the power to improve - just as we have seen happen in Greater Manchester.

Whether someone gets the chance to get back on their feet says something about who we are, it says something about the country we’re trying to build

We are going to get Britain believing again - and bring back hope

But we proved them wrong in Manchester. And we’re going to prove them wrong again on a bigger scale.

I want people to stop worrying and start feeling hopeful about what’s coming next. I want them to start to believe in Britain again.
