“I don't think the far right are going to do as well as people say, but they're going to do far better than they should. Now, we, in a way, because we've got a pretty right-wing Conservative government and you've got Farage and Reform hanging around as well, that is our version of that problem.”
“I think two to three years is a problem. That's why, you see, I think this stuff, public standards, changes that you can make to the curriculum, the stuff that you can do early on that signals change.”
“Way that it hasn't, and it won't unless and until it gets into power. But I think there's something in there that is kind of fundamentally decent and does have values and is tough and will makes the point.”
“No, but I'd say a lot of this depends on what mood we're in. So I could, I mean, Kiera and I have had many arguments about Brexit. I want Labour to be far more upfront about the damage that Brexit is doing and the absolute necessity to meet growth mission number one.”
