Andy Burnham: “I do point to the loss of collaboration with neighbours that came with Brexit. That hasn’t helped.”

We can do it, and we can be the nation in the next 10 years that… does find the cure for cancer, that does make the breakthrough on dementia, or indeed on nuclear fusion.

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.

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.

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