Andy Burnham: “I have said from my first day in this job that everything starts with a good home.”

If the UK wants to build global companies, we need to be globally competitive. To do that, we cannot have Britain's start-ups simply sell up.

So I can confirm today we will legislate to make sure that non-compete clauses will no longer be a barrier to hiring for our most promising start-ups and scaling firms.

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

We can do it, and we can be the nation in the next 10 years that… does find the cure for cancer, that does make the breakthrough on dementia, or indeed on nuclear fusion.
