[Michael] Gove will be the underdog fighting for the underdog in this leadership race.
We are an aspirational society. We believe that circumstances of your birth do not determine your outcome. You shouldn't have to be born to wealthy parents or the right zip code to be successful and do great things in our country!
Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.
I have concluded unequivocally that the right person is Michael Gove and I am delighted to be endorsing his candidacy.
'Born to Do It' took a kid out of a council estate and put my mum into a home of her own. It changed my whole family's situation, and all from doing something that I loved.
There is definitely a mood in the party for making sure that two cabinet heavyweights we have got, who come from different traditions, different sides of the EU referendum campaign, Theresa May and Michael Gove - it would be right to put them to the party in the country.
If Oasis is the sound of a council estate singing its heart out, then the Libertines sounded like someone just putting something in the rubbish chute at the back of the estate, trying to work out what day it is.
You can't kid the public. When they see me they see I'm just a kid off a council estate - no more, no less.
Michael Gove was one of the worst things to ever happen to the education system in this country. David Cameron is the worst Prime Minister this country has ever had.
It has always been my understanding that the brave men and women who fought and died for our country did so to ensure that we could live in a fair and free society, which includes the right to speak out in protest.
I didn't think I was the right person to do that job but I do think Michael Gove is and that's why I'm backing him.
One of the things that is great about this country is that we're a meritocracy. Aspirational, hard-working people who want to come here - and who have the talent and skills to contribute to our economy and society - are very welcome.
As soon as I speak, I think people go, 'Well, he obviously must have grown up on a council estate, gone to a comprehensive school and be working class - so I can relate to him.'
I grew up on a council estate. No one was working in our house.
No one fights with more principle and passion than Michael Gove.
