Andy Burnham

The more vulnerable you are, the more you end up paying, so that’s the worst of all worlds and people lose everything that they’ve worked for.

I will expend political capital on bringing forward a plan to fix social care, and I’m not going to waste time because every time that we waste another year, thousands and thousands more people don’t get the care that they need.

Let’s take a problem-solving rather than a point-scoring approach.

The way I look at it, it’s his achievement as well. A whole family achievement although he doesn’t know it.

Britain needs to show the world that we can regain our stability once again.

It is resolute. It will be there for him and I will be there for him personally too.

My first instruction will be to end rough sleeping in our country.

I’ve got personal experience of the system at the moment. My dad has Alzheimer’s, and you see what the staff have to put up with. It’s not their fault, the system’s broken. You can’t leave social care like this.

I want to consolidate the progress made on the existing UK-EU negotiations and make further progress quickly, including by strengthening our co-operation on illegal migration, economic security and the broader resilience of our societies…

The thing I heard the most on the doorsteps

All of this will be looked at though at the Budget, and obviously it's difficult given the financial circumstances in which we find ourselves.

Certainly, I heard issues related to the personal allowance more than anything on doorsteps in Makerfield.

It requires my generation of politicians to raise our game and rise to the new challenge.

I am acutely conscious that I am the sixth person in the last 10 years to walk up this street, the seventh prime minister since 2016, making this a moment for reflection and new resolution.

Let us make this the moment when Britain starts to believe again, the moment we bring back hope.

Pull me with me to build a new national sense of unity, of common purpose and positivity

I will give this my all, and I ask you all to pull with me. Let’s build a new national sense of unity, of common purpose and positivity.

I have just come from Buckingham Palace, where I have accepted His Majesty the King’s invitation to form a government.

And that work starts now. I will soon go through that door behind me and issue my first instruction – to end rough sleeping in our country.

But I can do something to give people some breathing space now, some help with the cost of living, and I will set out some of those measures starting tomorrow, including how we pay for them.

My appointment will be a circuit breaker for the UK.

I want to give voters hope back

The country must be honest about the challenges it faces

I am acutely conscious of the chaos

Give Britain more breathing space
