Andy Burnham: “Prime Minister Andy Burnham is right to reopen the debate about Britain’s relationship with the EU.”

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.

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.

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.
