Many of the things that went wrong were making announcements before having the plan ready, that is what Burnham is doing again. It would be wrong of me to ignore that.
We will attempt to amend the Government's Immigration and Asylum Bill to close the loophole so that this man can be deported immediately.
Burnham is clearly desperate to be in charge, but the prime minister is not a ceremonial position.
