Dave Doogan: “Andy Burnham should listen to those economic sirens that are ringing louder by the day and act to protect families ahead…”

What we will do is continue to fight for the democratic right of the people of Scotland to choose their own future – and voting SNP is the only way to lock Nigel Farage out of power in Scotland and secure an independence referendum.

We absolutely couldn't stand there and say, ‘Well, we could do this or we could do that with them, or we could do that with them, but we don't really like their politics’.

Burnham must wake up and take action now rather than issue more of these vague jam tomorrow promises.

Andy Burnham’s promises are being broken or deferred for a decade – whether it is cost of living support or defence, we need urgent action now.
