Congratulations to Barack Obama - great victory based on building fairer economy and optimism about what politics can achieve.
We don't compete in the world by offering tax advantages to a few that we don't give to all our citizens and businesses
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.
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.
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.
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.
The new generation of Labour is different. Different attitudes, different ideas, different ways of doing politics.
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.
Margaret Thatcher was the first political leader in any major country to warn of the dangers of climate change
The transition to a low-carbon economy will be one of the defining issues of the 21st century. This plan sets out a route-map for the UK's transition from here to 2020...every business, every community will need to be involved. Together we can create a more secure, more prosperous low carbon Britain and a world which is sustainable for future generations.
We have to create security for the working families of Britain, and that's what I'll do
Well you can be the son of a Marxist and not necessarily be a Marxist in all your views.
The great thing is that whether we have faith or not, we are by and large very tolerant of people, whatever their particular view.
We began as restless and radical. Remember the spirit of 1997, but by the end of our time in office we had lost our way.
