I will try to keep the £2 capped bus fare for as long as I possibly can.
Andy Burnham
The Public Record
I will aim to create a culture where every MP is valued, seen and listened to.
Now is a "significant moment" for the country - with constituents counting on Labour to come together.
We can never forget that for 20 years an entire English city was crying injustice correctly, and yet this place ignored them for all of that time.
The Hillsborough Law can’t do any more for the Hillsborough families. Indeed, it will do much more for those who come after them.
I cannot describe my pride in being in this House tonight to see this Bill plant the values of the city of my birth at the heart of this country.
As Burnham takes the keys to No 10 in this combustible summer, his choice is simple: close the adaptation gap or fall into it.
It means changing the law to set a maximum limit of temperature for safe working, long a demand of the labour movement.
The politics of the adaptation gap will only escalate. Closing it should become a priority, not the afterthought it has long been.
I knew Ann over many years in the House - we got along and everybody got along, but it feels like something has changed.
It's easy to blame social media, but it feels like it's having some impact in just building that kind of toxicity that's around the political debate.
It truly is a rewiring of the state and a passing of power from the authorities to the hands of ordinary people.
I aim to create a team and culture where everyone is valued, seen and listened to.
This is a significant moment for the country, and our constituents are counting on all of us to come together.
We need a feedback loop of the PLP into communities and back to the leadership and cabinet.
The Hillsborough Law will place a legal duty of candour on public authorities and officials, requiring them to tell the truth and co-operate fully with investigations and inquiries.
This is about ensuring the system is fair both to those seeking protection and to the communities that welcome them.
Doing politics differently means levelling with the public, engaging them in decisions and ensuring more social value in return for increased government spending.
I believe there is a need to build a Britain where every community is treated with equal respect and where, in the face of injustice, nobody walks alone.
