The Public Record
In a fundamental change to the education system, we will introduce new technical education pathways from 14 – prestigious routes that will give students the chance to combine the core academic subjects with the skills, technical knowledge…
I’m not the last Prime Minister of the UK. I’ll be the first to rewire it to make it work properly in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England.
Politics has become too suffocating. We need greater ambition. The country is not where it should be and nothing simple gets us out of that. We need to show a journey and a longer-term plan.
This investment goes hand in hand with our plans for a National Care Service, helping ensure that people living with dementia get the care and support they need.
I want Britain to be the country that makes the breakthrough and delivers the cure for dementia the world has been waiting for.
In my view, all political parties in the UK should do everything they can to support the two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
The controversial motion... shouldn't be supported in any way, shape or form.
If the UK wants to build global companies, we need to be globally competitive. To do that, we cannot have Britain's start-ups simply sell up.
We can do it, and we can be the nation in the next 10 years that… does find the cure for cancer, that does make the breakthrough on dementia, or indeed on nuclear fusion.
So I can confirm today we will legislate to make sure that non-compete clauses will no longer be a barrier to hiring for our most promising start-ups and scaling firms.
Non-compete clauses stop workers from joining a rival organisation, or indeed, setting up one of their own after they have left their role, and I think that's a drag on innovation and prevents the best really being energised and bringing…
I believe some businesses have gone too far in their use of restrictive practices such as non-compete clauses, a view I know shared by many in this room and across the sector.
We will do what we can to request that the right steps are being taken, and that’s the approach we’ll take.
Obviously, we take the greatest of care in relation to any issue that relates to our biosecurity, and at this point in time, while we would monitor the situation closely, I wouldn’t want to say anything further.
Britain has been on the wrong path for a long time. Deindustrialisation. Deregulation. Privatisation. Austerity. Brexit.
Dementia is a devastatingly cruel disease, not only for those who live with it, but for the families who care for them.
So I know there is more to do to fix that, specifically on tax, to encourage people to stay and scale.
I think it was a completely wrong decision, a terrible judgment on the part of the Green party of England and Wales.
They've been such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester and obviously the building of Manchester City into the global force that it is.
Politicians like Andy Burnham
