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 leave for our kids.

The new generation of Labour is different. Different attitudes, different ideas, different ways of doing politics.

One nation banking recognises that banks must not be isolated from the rest of the economy. Because banks and small businesses must succeed or fail together, banks must lend to small businesses so we can get the growth and jobs we need for the future. As things stand, that is not happening enough. Lending was down £10.8billion last year.

I treat opinion polls with a pinch of sugar.

In good times, people turn to Left wing parties, in bad times, they say, well, possibly Left-wing parties can't make those tough decisions... We've got to buck that trend

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.

The great thing is that whether we have faith or not, we are by and large very tolerant of people, whatever their particular view.

A company is not accountable just to its owners, but to its workers and its customers.

I've supported Jeremy Corbyn all the way along because I think that was the right thing to do. I've reluctantly reached the conclusion that his position is untenable.

Look, there is a sort of old view about class which is a very simplistic view that we have got the working class, the middle class and the upper class, I think it is more complicated than that.

One of the drivers of displacement and potential conflict over the next 10 to 20 years will be climate (change) - resource scarcity, climate change is going to compound the cocktail that's driving war and displacement.

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

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.

While there's capitalism, there'll be socialism, because there is always a response to injustice.

The most important lesson of New Labour is this: Every time we made progress we did it by challenging the conventional wisdom.

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.

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.

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.
