Andy Burnham: “We need to make politics work better and raise our game and rise to the new challenge.”

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.

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.

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.
