Andy Burnham: “My first instruction will be to end rough sleeping in our country.”

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.

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.

In my view, all political parties in the UK should do everything they can to support the two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
