Andy Burnham: “It is simply not right that many disabled people cannot travel using their pass during certain times of the day.”

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

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.

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.

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.
