#bbclaurak

🇬🇧 There was something deeply ironic about the final moments of #BBCLauraK today. 🇬🇧 Britain broke from Europe with Brexit, a rupture with strange historical echoes of Henry VIII’s break with Rome. And today, the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster reminded us of “the value of the human person”. Of humanity. Families. The homeless. Our responsibility to each other. I am not a Catholic, but I went to a convent school until I was 13. I was educated in these values, they are familiar to me and comforting and above all grounding. And now Britain is about to have its first Catholic PM Andy Burnham In the last decade or so, we have lost sight of some of the most basic truths 👉Geography. Humanity. Honesty. Values. 🔥 Brexit taught us to deny our geography. 🔥 Populism taught us to divide people. 🔥 UK decided to live with dishonesty and lost sight of the value of the human person. My hopes now rest on Andy Burnham bringing those values back to government and Britain back to its rightful place in Europe and the world. People first. Place first. Humanity first. This is the change of direction Britain and Europe desperately needs.

“Andy has never shied away from the fact that he wanted at some point to lead the Labour Party” Rachel Reeves tells #bbclaurak that Andy Burnham needs “a worked-through plan” when he becomes PM and says it is "perfectly reasonable for people to have ambition".
