He kept us out of the war in Iran and has delivered real progress as Prime Minister at home. He has made the right decision to stand down as the Leader of the Labour Party that he saved.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After a devastating set of election results in May, the Makerfield by-election has proven that Labour can still win if we have the courage to change. It was a victory for unity and hope over division and hatred.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It was also Andy Burnham&#8217;s victory. Andy has shown what Labour can be when we are inclusive, united, and in touch with the lives of the people this Party was founded to represent.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I left the Government because we were losing the fight to nationalists in every corner of the country. I have spent the weeks since speaking to our former councillors, activists and voters in place we lost &#8211; to listen and learn from them.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been setting out ideas to change our country: a plan for Britain to grow again and grow together, with a progressive capitalism focused on wealth creation as much as wealth distribution; to lead the world in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and protect people from its risks; to modernise our public services; to give Britain energy security; to build stronger alliances with democracies around the world and a new Special Relationship with Europe; and to change the culture of our Party so that it is more inclusive and open to ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Having spoken at length with Andy in recent days, I&#8217;m convinced that there is a place for those ideas under his leadership; that he is committed to building an inclusive party that draws on the best of our political traditions; and that he can win the fight of our lives against the forces of nationalism.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We could spend the summer exaggerating small differences, or we can roll up our sleeves and help him to deliver the change our Party and our country needs. That is the choice that I am making and I hope that everyone else will back Andy, too.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We were elected change our country, to show that politics can be a force for good, and to spread opportunity for everyone.
