Andy Burnham: “I think we do allow people to suffer and families to suffer too much.”

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.

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

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.

That is my view. I communicated it to the first secretary [sic] very clearly, and he has a different view.
