Andy Burnham: “The country is in a housing trap. We are forced to chase rents in the private rented sector through the benefits system.”

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

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

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.

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.
