Andy Burnham: “We will start laying the ground now for the National Care Service and introduce it in the next Parliament.”

It is quite clear once again to the world who the aggressor is in this conflict, and we will use whatever influence we have got as the UK to bring the parties together behind President Zelensky and Ukraine.

That is my view. I communicated it to the first secretary [sic] very clearly, and he has a different view.

Through No 10 North, we are rewiring the state and I want to make sure regions in Scotland are fully part of this.

Obviously, it’s been a difficult few days for President Zelensky, and that’s why I invited him to the UK to give him that lift, and to see what more we could do.
