I don't make personal abuse against anybody, I don't mind personal remarks.

Why are we putting people who are already in a vulnerable position through this dreadful, appalling stress?

Of course I want to lead [Tory] party. Of course I want to lead this party in order to put forward an alternative and lead this party to win the election as soon as it comes.

I don't respond in any way to personal abuse that is thrown at me.

I don't make personal abuse against anybody, I don't mind personal remarks.

I'm carrying on. I'm making the case for unity, I'm making the case of what Labour can offer to Britain, of decent housing for people, of good secure jobs for people, of trade with Europe and of course with other parts of the world. Because if we don't get the trade issue right we've got a real problem in this country.

I think the issue will come up after the election of the new Tory leader. They may well decide to call an election. What the British people need now is stability. Stability to retain their jobs, stability to protect those working conditions, and we need a plan from this government now on how they're going to approach the negotiations for leaving the European Union before they invoke Article 50.
