Wes Streeting quotes:

You sat there and watched our colleague Ruth Smeeth abused at a Labour event. Your words are hollow.

I was elected leader of our party, for a new kind of politics, by 60% of Labour members and supporters. The need for that different approach now is greater than ever.

Our people need Labour party members, trade unionists and MPs to unite. As leader it is my continued commitment to dedicate our party's activity to that goal.

After Brexit referendum, our country faces major challenges. Risks to the economy and living standards are growing. The public is split.The government is in disarray. Ministers have made it clear they have no exit plan, but are determined to make working people pay with a new round of cuts and tax rises.

We need to stand together. Since I was elected leader of our party, we have repeatedly defeated the government over its attacks on living standards.
