Andy Burnham: “Hope for every young person is what we are going to be about, and this is it.”

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.

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.

The controversial motion... shouldn't be supported in any way, shape or form.
