Andy Burnham

I did 'not want to leave office' without reforming the system and that I was 'ready to use some of my political capital' on the issue.

In his first speech as the UK's prime minister, Burnham vowed to provide "breathing space" for households struggling with the cost of living.

I want to give people a sense that help is coming on costs.

Where changes are needed, we will not hesitate to make them.

Keeping the public safe will always be my top priority.

No prisoners will be let out under this policy until we have conducted an urgent review and done everything we can to minimise risk to the public.

Pubs need to know that the cavalry is coming.

I don’t think the over-all policies will be radically different from Starmer’s.

A cost of living government

The moment when Britain starts to believe again, the moment we bring back hope.

I will end rough sleeping across the country; it will be my first instruction.

This includes staff from Manchester and those who have come in from around the country.

The civil aerospace and defence sectors combined will support half a million jobs across the country by 2030, and right now, two-thirds of those jobs are outside London and the southeast.

We will do it by working together with brilliant businesses like those at Farnborough this week.

I know what a big deal this event is, truly I do, and I’m so sorry I can’t be with you.

It’s not something he’s focused on and it’s not a conversation that he’s interested in taking forward.

I am proud to see you going out into the tunnel alongside me and on to the pitch as one team.

It was a second chance at a first impression.

People across Britain were finding life hard, and ministers should think every day about what they could do to take a little bit of pressure off.

The time for resisting devolution was over.

Life's hard out there, isn't it, at the moment.

Lower fares will help people get to where they need to – giving them breathing space to help with the cost of living.

I must deliver where others have failed.

The next steps should give most to those with least, rather than handing the largest rewards to those who need them least.

I vow to build a new politics and to unite behind a strong Labour movement.
