@unisonandrew.bsky.social🌹 PM Andy Burnham’s first Conference speech as Prime Minister focused on housing, social care, opportunities for young people and public services.
Plenty to welcome. Now the focus must be on turning ambition into real improvements for our communities.

@paulhindley2210.bsky.socialBurnham’s speech was full of honesty, ideas and emotion.
His support for more public control, a National Care Service, electoral reform and rectifying Brexit were all great.
I don’t know if Burnham will win the next general election, but based on that speech alone, he certainly deserves to. #Lab26
@royalosteosoc.bsky.socialOur volunteer Corinne spoke to Health Secretary @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social at #Lab26, reminding her of Labour’s pre-election pledge to roll out osteoporosis early diagnosis clinics across England. The Health Secretary promised to look into what’s blocking progress. We look forward to hearing more.

@unison.org.uk📢✊ Migrant workers must not be made scapegoats for decades of failure to invest in public services.
At #Lab26, @AndreaEganGS.bsky.social called on the government to drop plans that could force migrant workers to wait 15 years for settlement.

@peterthemeter.bsky.social#Lab26. Brilliant speech. No doubt the media will be criticising it by now. Bet Chris Mason is raring to go.
@fisherandrew79.bsky.socialBest speech by a Labour Prime Minister in my lifetime - in terms of policy, rhetoric and delivery.
@nairnamcd.bsky.social@fisherandrew79.bsky.social"Brexit has done more harm than good
"So I will take the opportunity [of the upcoming EU summit] to lay out the options for Britain's long-term relationship with Europe and see if we can build consensus."
#Lab26
@fisherandrew79.bsky.social"We have to be honest, Brexit hasn't given us control
Says it has weakened our economy and our immigration system.
"We will always be grateful to those who have come to our country and are contributing to our country"
