Andy Burnham: “The prime minister is prioritising the ballooning benefits bill over our national security. Shameful. This is not…”

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.

We either invest in the success of our young people or pay for failure through the benefits system. We cannot afford to do both.

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

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