Yes, look, social class is definitely an issue in Britain, it is definitely an issue and I think that most people across the country would sympathise with the idea that there are lots of people with talent and ability all across this country who want to make more of themselves and part of the responsibility of government is to make that happen.

Let the message go out - a new generation has taken charge of Labour which is optimistic about our country, optimistic about our world, optimistic about the power of politics. We are optimistic and together we will change Britain.

- Nov 07, 2020
My beliefs will run through everything I do. My beliefs, my values are my anchor and when people try to drag me, as I know they will, it is to that sense of right and wrong, that sense of who I am and what I believe, to which I will always hold.
- Dad

I suppose not everyone has a dad who wrote a book saying he didn't believe in the Parliamentary road to socialism.

The most important lesson of New Labour is this: Every time we made progress we did it by challenging the conventional wisdom.
- Power
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I come from a generation that suffered school lessons in portacabins and crumbling hospitals. I tell you one thing, for the eighteen years they were in power the Tories did nothing to fix the roof when the sun was shining.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Think of how we challenged the impression that we taxed for its own sake and that we were hostile to business. We were right to change.
- Equality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
And think of how we challenged the idea of a male dominated Parliament with All-Women shortlists and made the cause of gender equality central to our government. We were right to do so.
- Debate

- Nov 07, 2020
Let's start to have a grown up debate in this country about who we are and where we want to go and what kind of country we want to build.

The great thing is that whether we have faith or not, we are by and large very tolerant of people, whatever their particular view.
- Different Faiths
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's really important to say this. Often the faith schools were founded before the state provided education. I want good education in this country so I'm not going to slag off faith schools. I think that it's important that people of different backgrounds and different faiths go to school together and many faith schools do that.
- Through

While there's capitalism, there'll be socialism, because there is always a response to injustice.
- Future
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I felt I could still make a contribution with ideas. I didn't know how, and it has taken me some time to work that out. There were things that mattered to me about the future of the country: inequality, what the post-financial crisis settlement would be. I still felt strongly about all that.
- Bolder
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People want bigger, bolder answers to the problems that exist. I felt, as leader, 'My analysis is big; are the answers big enough?'
- People

This idea about cheerful thinking, a digital platform for people to present their ideas, organise events around the country - that is what I am focused on building: a digital think-tank for the modern age that can help show people things can be better; the world can be different.

You're running to be prime minister - it's hard to be the person who makes jokes.

- Important
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There just isn't a version of 'socialism in one country' around in the 21st century. I think it's really important that we don't fall for this nirvana of 'Let's just get out, and we can create a socialist Britain.'
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think part of the thing that is important to me, and is important to Labour supporters, is that the fight goes on. The fight goes on in relation to this budget, in relation to Europe, and in a way, the history of progressive politics is that there are setbacks - significant setbacks - and you have to overcome that. But obviously it's tough.
- Own
