Andy Burnham

I will be with him 100% as Keir Starmer has been, and Keir has done really quite an incredible job in not just backing Ukraine but being there in a personal way.

I am acutely conscious of this churn at the top.

I do not want to leave office without reforming the social care system.

Without sufficient homes for people that they can afford, you chase rent through the benefits system in the private rented sector.

I will bring essentials under public control to make them more affordable.

I will be looking at the tax-free personal allowance ahead of my first Budget in the autumn.

My first instruction as prime minister will be to end rough sleeping.

I will give the public more breathing room.

I want a circuit-breaker for Britain and to bring some of the biggest changes this country has seen in 40 years.

We'll get to work immediately, bringing together national and local government with the investment needed to get it done.

On my first day as prime minister, I'm announcing this government's commitment to finally end long-term rough sleeping across the UK at the earliest opportunity.

We are going to end rough sleeping in this country at the first opportunity. People have told me it would take decades. Some say it's impossible. I'm not having that.

I had unfinished business on the national stage.

I will replicate ‘Manchesterism’ on a national scale.

We need to be better.

In an era of populism, center-left parties need leaders with a populist touch, and Andy does have that.

At some point, I might have to ask wealthy taxpayers for a little more.

The biggest change in forty years of British politics.

Andy Burnham’s Greater Manchester programme—the Bee Network, expanded council housing, the Good Growth Fund—has begun to show what the logic of public control produces in practice: lower fares, more routes, restored connectivity to…

This is Manchesterism.

It all adds up to forty years of neoliberalism that have not been kind to the North of England.

Manchesterism' for us is people coming together to effect change, doing things for themselves, and having a real can-do attitude.

I will scrap plans for digital ID cards, reverse the privatization of public transit and utilities, and devolve power away from the capital London.

I will promise that the party under my leadership will be unashamedly Labour in our priorities and in the decisions we take, putting people and places at the heart of everything we do.

Making the economy work for people across the UK will require a new path to the one we've been on for the last 40 years.
