" I say that as a dad. I've got a 15-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl. I'm not going To Let them Grow Up in a world where all I've got to say to them about their future is, it's going to be worse than it might otherwise have been.
" I've got an utter determination to make this work. "
The Labour leader spent the weekend meeting fellow centre-left leaders in Canada, including the country's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau .
