Michael Gove has said he is standing to be the next leader of the Conservative Party because "I want to advance certain arguments and certain principles," agreeing that he had to make "some difficult decisions" but did them for the good of the country and his principles.

On Boris Johnson, Mr Gove said he "came to the conclusion reluctantly" after throwing his "heart and soul" into trying to persuade Mr Johnson to do that job, but he says it became clear "he could not do that".
