Andy Burnham: “I want there to be the most inclusive approach to building the team, so that all parts of the party can see themselves…”

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.

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.

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.
