In six years, we went from historic defeat in 2019 to historic victory in 2024, and in two years in government I leave the country in better shape than I found it.
It is hugely impactful. However much you try to make it not impact the family, and we all do, and I desperately try to protect Vic and the kids, there's no doubting it has an impact on them.
The big job in me is being the best dad to my kids and the best husband to my wife. That is... that is a big job. And it's a job I'm very much looking forward to.
Ukraine in many senses is the defining cause of our time because this is a fight about the values of democracy and freedom that are hugely important to the United Kingdom.
