Andy Burnham: “Life's hard out there, isn't it, at the moment.”

I’m not the last Prime Minister of the UK. I’ll be the first to rewire it to make it work properly in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England.

I want Britain to be the country that makes the breakthrough and delivers the cure for dementia the world has been waiting for.

Politics has become too suffocating. We need greater ambition. The country is not where it should be and nothing simple gets us out of that. We need to show a journey and a longer-term plan.

This investment goes hand in hand with our plans for a National Care Service, helping ensure that people living with dementia get the care and support they need.
