Andy Burnham: “This is a moment to speak for all parts of the country and unite people in a common cause.”

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

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.

It’s been bombing energy infrastructure in 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.
