The challenges facing Britain required not just a cool head, but a heart burning with the desire for change - not business as usual but a bold vision.
Michael Gove
Image
I'll negotiate with toughness, and with great attention to detail to get the best possible deal for Britain. It's only when we are outside the European Union that we can at last bring those numbers [of migrants] under control in the way that the public want.

Children in dysfunctional homes at risk of abuse are kept in danger for too long because politically correct rules mean we won't challenge unfit parents.

It's critical that children spend time before they arrive in school in a warm, attractive and inclusive environment, where they can learn through play, master social skills and prepare for formal schooling.

Michael Gove
Image
Now that Britain has voted to leave, I think the country deserves to have a leader who believes in Britain outside the European Union and who also has experience at the highest level of government.
Michael Gove
Image
It was a tough choice [of PM]. I voted for a Scotsman.
Michael Gove
Image
The promise to leave the European Union, end the supremacy of EU law and take back control of our democracy. With my leadership, it will be delivered.
Michael Gove
Image
We need a national ambition to build hundreds of thousands of new homes a year, both private and socially-rented - led by someone who will not take no for an answer and who will push for diggers in the ground and homes for all come what may.
Michael Gove
Image
I remember my mum explaining to me what adoption meant when I was still at primary school. 'Son,' she said to me, 'you didn't grow under my heart, you grew in it'.

Image
You come home to find your 17-year-old daughter engrossed in a book. Which would delight you more - if it were 'Twilight' or 'Middlemarch?'
Michael Gove
Image
Teachers themselves know if there's a colleague who can't keep control or keep the interest of their class, it affects the whole school.
Michael Gove
Image
I will do everything that is required in order to bring immigration down to a level that is manageable, that the public believe is right.
Michael Gove
Image
Whoever the next prime minister of this country will be, it will be a female prime minister and a female prime minister who has formidable skills and I know whichever one of the two wins they will lead this country well.
Michael Gove

The British people rejected politics as usual and government as usual. They want and need a new approach to running this country.
