Andy Burnham: “I would look at the voting system but would not introduce any changes before the next general election”

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.

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.

My message to young people is this - whether you choose construction, coding or classics, or maths, manufacturing or mechanics, you'll get the skills you need and be given the respect you deserve.
