Andy Burnham: “Britain has to show leadership. Britain has to stand for fairness against injustice.”

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.

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

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.

The controversial motion... shouldn't be supported in any way, shape or form.
