Steve Reed: “Trust in politics is at an all-time low. Time and again, people have voted for change, time and again change never came.”

There are so many pubs that are wanting to open their doors to fans so that they can watch the World Cup, and we want to do everything we can as a government to make sure that happens.

This Government is driving the most ambitious programme of local government reform in a generation, replacing the inefficient two-tier system with new unitary councils so that all parts of our country are ready for devolution.

Serving as the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government has been the honour of my life and although I am disappointed to be leaving Government now, I wish your new team every success.

Andy is committed to that manifesto.
