Andy Burnham: “There have been big gains made in Northern Ireland, and we don’t want to see things go backwards.”

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.

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.

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’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.
