Andy Burnham must prove he is serious by acting now to stop Labour’s early release scheme.

We do need to build new prison places more quickly and cheaply.

I can't fix the past, what I can do is come up with solutions.

Without emergency legislation, dangerous violent and sexual offenders will be released at the start of September.

The Conservatives are happy to work with you and other parties on reforming social care. But we will only support a solution that abides by two core principles.

With businesses closing or relocating, youth unemployment higher than in the eurozone, and the cost of living already causing real hardship for many people, the last thing Britain needs is further tax increases to pay for social care.

Second, the money must be found by reducing current spending. You must rule out any tax rises, or increased borrowing that will ultimately fall on the next generation to pay for.

First, any solution to the issues around social care must also be fair to those who have made provisions and saved up over the course of their lives.

The tax burden has risen to a record high under Labour, and there is already speculation that you will increase taxes further at the budget this autumn.

What I have said is we want people who are going to meet the standards which we are setting.

This is creating another branch of the civil service in a different place.

He is behaving like he's still the mayor of Manchester. He is now the prime minister of the United Kingdom.

When you are mayor of Manchester, you are handed a big pot of someone else's money, and you decide where to spend it.

I welcome the pause but call for killers and rapists to be permanently exempt from any future version of the scheme.

Kemi Badenoch has accused Andy Burnham of governing like he is still the mayor of Greater Manchester.

It is not going to be making the mistakes of the past.

We are changing policies, we are changing people, we are changing process.

When I look at the plans that he has announced for the country I find myself asking 'is that it'?

Andy Burnham's ambitions for Britain are too small.

Who are going to abide by the policies I have put red lines on.

He doesn't actually know what he wants to do, he is thinking out loud. All that we know is it's going to cost a lot of money.

We don't treat our former MPs or our candidates like tittle-tattle for Westminster gossip.

I want people to know that this is a new Conservative party.

Andy Burnham needs to do better. He is behaving like he's still the mayor of Manchester. He is now the prime minister of the United Kingdom, he needs to start acting like it.
