I am finalising those decisions, and I will come to conclusions very shortly, and then I will announce those on Monday.

The most significant change in our politics in 40 years.

I haven't made any decisions yet about who will be in that top team.

I want to give people hope back.

In a speech on Friday, he promised major economic reforms that will be the most significant change moment in our politics for 40 years.

We're going to give them hope back.

I commit to being a leader for the North and the South, for Scotland, for Wales and for Northern Ireland, and for every town and every city in every nation and region of this great country.

We will be unashamedly Labour in our priorities and in the decisions we take, putting people and places at the heart of everything we do.

We will have the courage to fix the big things that politics has neglected.

We will make this country the best it can be.

If you take business rates, for instance, I believe there is a case for higher business rates on warehouses and the major developments we see on the outskirts of our cities, so that we can cut business rates for pubs.

I want people to say once again that Labour are for us.

Hope for every young person is what we are going to be about, and this is it.

We want to give your area more power to build the council and social homes that you desperately need for those families.

Change starts with honesty.

I am ready, ready to lead and to build on the foundation laid by one person more than any other.

The current structure — based on property valuations from 1991 — as “not justifiable”.

This is a last chance

This is the Labour Party’s last chance to change.

We are united, we put the power that comes from unity at the service of people and places who have been waiting too long for politics to let them hope again.

I want to build unity by respecting all shades of opinion

Political power was used viciously against them to protect vested interests

We will be that version of Labour again

But let's be honest, everybody, this is a last chance to change, and we must take it together, united together

We won't try to out-Green the Greens, or out-Reform Reform, or doing what we've done in the past, wearing too many Tory clothes
