Andy Burnham: “Who started the fire?”

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.

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

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 am somebody who believes that unions, trade unions, definitely, and I think unions of countries are better because you face a challenging world in a more confident and stronger way.
