Swinney wants ‘constructive relationship’ with Labour leader Burnham

In a speech to Labour MPs and supporters, Burnham said he would give “hope back” to working class communities who the political class had “turned its back” on.

Speaking at the TUC headquarters in central London, he vowed to reindustrialise the country.

The former mayor also outlined plans for devolving more power away from Westminster to the English regions.

Anas Sarwar said Labour’s challenge was to make sure communities feel the hope and optimism and “see that politics can deliver for them”.

He told BBC news: “The reason we have to make sure this works, the reason we have to unify behind Andy Burnham and make sure this is a successful UK Labour government, is because the fight that we face in the coming years is even bigger than what happens inside the Labour party.

“We have a fight for the heart and soul of our nation.

“It’s either going to be a success with Andy Burnham, or it’s going to be a country in the hands of Nigel Farage and the new right.”
