Andy Burnham: “People do want a new direction in politics. A new way of doing things. More doing, less arguing. More power put into…”

We obviously have close conversations with our US counterparts, and what I’m going to do is build that bridge and make sure that we’re still all working together to support Ukraine.

I was proud of the reception that the UK gave to the Ukrainian president yesterday.

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.

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.
