  I would rather have a PM who makes mistakes, than someone who sits on the fence and does nothing!.

  This is full fat Labour.  The one people wanted for change.  Not fence sitting.  Electoral Reform, National Care Service, Comprehensive Education and much more

  water companies should be sued for the dividends they paid out instead of paying to keep their infrastructure together... And if they refuse their bosses should be jailed for fraud!

  Spot on. Ive said this for years. Agree or disagree, Thatcher had her ways and stuck to them stead fast and got her way and this is the first time since, imo someone has looked like doinf the same. Im a Labour man, i hated Thatcher and ive detested the previous years under tory goverments and i v much like Burnham. Praying he delivers HIS way to make this country better. No fence sitting. Go for it

  Say what you want, he&apos;s making big decisions on matters which others have looked the other way on for political reasons.<br><br>You&apos;ve got to respect that regardless of your opinions on the policies.

  as a &apos;child&apos; of thatcher, from the care system then turfed onto the streets; I&apos;ve been screaming into the void since then about the very problems andy talked about, that needed to be said out loud, and he did. it felt cathartic, so im very pleased and i am feeling some hope.

  I was so pleased with this plan. As a pensioner I agree the triple lock is not sustainable and we need a Social Care system. As an ex-social worker, this has been a problem since the 70&apos;s and not addressed

  A brilliant speech definitely makes me feel more hopeful and excited about what this Labour Government will deliver for Britain.
