Andy Burnham

Politics isn’t working for places like ours. I will change that. #AndyBurnham #ForUs

My mission as Leader of the Labour Party is to bring back hope.

"It takes a lot to bring tears to my eyes. It certainly did." #Newsnight political editor, Nick Watt, talks to Lord Blunkett, after the new party leader, Andy Burnham, says that the former Home Secretary "has been the truest mentor to me" in his speech today.

As Leader of the Labour Party, I want to change politics. This is how.

Congratulations to Andy Burnham, the new Leader of the Labour Party!

It’s the honour of my life to be Leader of the Labour Party. I will be a leader for every region and nation in this great country, and this Party will be unashamedly Labour in our priorities and in the decisions we take. Together, we will set Britain on a new path.

This is our chance to put power back where it belongs. Watch the Labour leadership announcement here 👇🏻 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The next few days are about more than changing who governs Britain. They’re about changing how Britain is governed.

When I said I was going to do politics differently, I meant it. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours in Cardiff city centre inviting people to ask me anything about my plans for the UK.

Good luck lads We’re all behind you 💪🏻

Congratulations @KenSkatesMS! Looking forward to working with you to get Labour back to winning in Wales. x.com/WelshLabour/st…

Always happy to share tips with a fellow enthusiast. He’s got real potential! 😂 #RunWithMo

The number 96 has been tattooed on my wrist since 2015. It reminds me every day that I was one of the lucky ones who came home from Hillsborough. Today, standing in Parliament to speak as the Hillsborough Law passed was one of the proudest and most emotional moments of my life. For the 97. For their families. For every campaigner who never gave up. This is your legacy. #HillsboroughLaw #JFT97

The landmark Hillsborough Law legislation has now been passed by MPs in the House of Commons. We would like to reaffirm our enormous admiration, respect and appreciation for all those who have campaigned for the introduction of the Hillsborough Law. The 97, their families and survivors are forever in our thoughts. 🔗 lfc.tv/3TgJEr2

For 37 years, the Hillsborough families never gave up and they never accepted a lie. Their courage has changed this country for the better.

The Hillsborough Law will change the way this country thinks about justice.

Writing exclusively for the ECHO, @andyburnham praises the endless courage of the Hillsborough families on the day a new Hillsborough Law will finally pass through the House of Commons liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/news-opin…

Without accountability, there can be no justice. Hillsborough changed who I was as a person and as a politician.

Today belongs to the Hillsborough families. They never gave up. Because of them, our country is one step closer to ensuring no family has to fight so long for truth and justice again. liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/news-opin…
