Andy Burnham
The Public Record
I don't see why anywhere should have to accept they have empty shops, vape shops and the challenges that come with that.
I want the strongest possible neighbourhood policing, with all agencies involved, to rip out criminal behaviour that is pulling places down.
I came into office and started pushing on this issue, and I have pushed every single day in office.
I know I can look people in the eye and say to them there is nothing more I could have asked for without risking the prison system reaching capacity and collapsing within months.
I know people are sick and tired of rip-off discounts and subscription traps. Westminster has got used to telling people that everyday hassles like this are just part of life.
We will make sure that when families snatch a deal, they can be confident they’re actually saving.
We are kicking off with a couple of first steps on those everyday hassles that people tell me about time and time again.
Creating room to breathe is my number one priority, and the whole of this government is united on that.
Ministers will need to be prepared to reprioritise how they allocate their budgets.
I'm determined to pull every single lever we can to provide people with some room to breathe on the cost of living.
The truth is I wanted to go even further, I have pushed to the very limits of what is possible to do.
Please, Andy Burnham, you promised you are going to be looking north. We need you for this emergency.
Andy Burnham has declared he is the prime minister of the North as well as London. Now is the time to prove it.
The prime minister has personally intervened to ensure that everything possible is being done so that vile groomers are dealt with in the way their victims deserve.
The scheme should exclude rapists, serious sexual offenders against children and those guilty of grooming gang related crimes.
Nobody should be left to struggle with their mental health alone. But every day, thousands of people are waiting months for help, then finding the only door open to them is a busy A&E.
I wanted to go even further, but said that would risk the collapse of the entire prison system.
I'd really like to meet you and hear from you directly, and I've asked my team to get in touch.
