Andy Burnham: “I think he’s going to have to stay up north I think, because he’s kind of got that angry little man thing going on.”

During my first week in office, I told the First Minister that I wanted to work with him to spread opportunities to communities across Scotland's regions and cities.

This is me making an offer to the Scottish Government. With us working together, there is no limit to what we can achieve for the Scottish people.

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.

Let's accept there's a different view there, and then work on what we can work on together, what we can agree on.
