Andy Burnham: “It has to be radical, we’d have never created the NHS if we weren’t radical as a country at times.”

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

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.

We will do what we can to request that the right steps are being taken, and that’s the approach we’ll take.

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