John Healey: “UK borrowing costs are too high.”

People recognise these times that are tough for everyone, and what they do expect of a government is to manage with the budgets we've got, deliver the public services they need, and that's the challenge.

We are determined to drive good growth in every postcode, provide some breathing space for today, and fresh hope for the future.

I think in recent decades, and this is true in Heathrow and airports right across the UK, that they have been a big part of jobs and growth. And the case for a third runway at Heathrow has always been a case for growth.

Economic growth is my and Burnham’s number one mission in government.
