Loneliness has been the sad reality of a modern life for too many people.

"I want to confront this challenge for our society and for all of us to fight against the loneliness endured by the elderly, by carers, by those who have lost love ones, people who have no friend or family to talk to or share their thoughts and experience with." She said.

"Jo Cox recognized the scale of loneliness across the country and dedicated herself to doing all that she could to help those affected".

" I am happy that the Government can build on her legacy with a minister of loneliness who will work with the commission, businesses and charities to shine a light on the issue of loneliness and pull together all strands of Government to create the first ever strategy to battle against loneliness."
