LabourList has taken a closer look at the policy platform outlined by Burnham should he succeed Starmer in Downing Street.

With the right policy response, longer lives can bring benefits not only to the individual but to the wider society and economy.

MPs from different Labour traditions are united behind a neighbourhood spending lock to restore post-industrial and coastal communities.

For a Prime Minister keen to frame national security as a core competence and part of his legacy, Starmer’s rhetoric has over-promised and the reality has been under-delivery.

John Slinger MP argues that we should take away the hyperbolic narrative and look at how much Labour has achieved on defence.

If we campaign on targets not capabilities, we risk lecturing the public not leading them.

With courage, compassion and conviction Labour can meet this moment and build a nation true to our values and make life affordable for all.
