Andy Burnham: “I want to knock dead the ideas that have held us back for too long.”

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.

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

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.
