‘I’m the candidate for change’, says Gove in pitch to be Tory leader and UK PM

Michael Gove has declared himself "the candidate for change" as he set out his pitch to become Conservative leader and UK prime minister.

In a clear attempt to draw contrasts with his main rival UK home secretary Theresa May - who on Thursday portrayed herself as an unshowy politician who would "get the job done" - Mr Gove said that the challenges facing Britain required "not just a cool head, but a heart burning with the desire for change ... not business as usual but a bold vision".
