You know, I could have at 16, left school without any qualifications.
I could have been written off.
And that's it.
And I could have ended up on the same path as my mother.
But actually, the interventions of the state support me and gave me a second chance.
And this is as true for Gen Z, not just because of a lot of the challenges they face and not of their making, but it's true for everyone.
It's why I was a real big passion for lifelong learning when I was shadow education secretary, because I do think that you shouldn't write people off.
People should be given.
And the challenges we face as an economy, as a workforce, is you're not going to be in the same job.
It's very rare now that you leave school, you get an apprenticeship or you go to university, you get a job.
It is very rare.
that that person is staying with the same company or staying in the same industry.
People will have to adapt and therefore the state needs to provide those opportunities.
And that's why I'm really passionate about delivering for people.

If we're really going to turn things around, it's not like, oh, well, I click my fingers and it happens, or somebody else is going to do that for me.
It's a collective endeavour to deliver it.
Yeah.
So first of all, you're right.
