I will continue - as Labour Leader - to pursue the causes of peace and justice in Israel-Palestine, the wider Middle East and all over the world. But those who claim to do so with hateful or inflammatory language do no service to anyone, especially dispossessed and oppressed people in need of better advocacy.

I believe in a democracy and we live in a democracy. We have a titular head of state as the monarch but without political power.

Sorry, but we live in a democracy and the Government has to be responsive to Parliament.

We see constituents who are manifestly incapable of undertaking any normal work... Those whose applications for benefits are subsequently rejected go through a period of incredible stress, and some, sadly, take their lives during that time. Applicants who appeal usually win.

Labour Party members must all be free to criticise and oppose injustice and abuse wherever we find it.

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

Labour has the responsibility to give a lead where the government will not. We need to bring people together, hold the government to account, oppose austerity and set out a path to exit that will protect jobs and incomes.
