Andy Burnham: “The assurance I gave was I will work towards a resolution, at the moment we don't have that, but I gave an assurance…”

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.

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.

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