Andy Burnham: “That's what I'm trying to do, and I hope to take it further in the coming period, rather than putting people back into…”

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.

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.

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.

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