Andy Burnham: “I will be a leader for the North, the South, the East and the West, for Scotland, Wales and for Northern Ireland.”

I am utterly determined to prove wrong the SNP leader’s prediction that I will be the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Through No 10 North, we are rewiring the state and I want to make sure regions in Scotland are fully part of this.

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.
