Christina Rees speaks out

"The result of the motion of no confidence on Tuesday made it clear that Jeremy had lost the confidence of the PLP. We need a leader that can unite the PLP and the Labour Party.

I have devoted my life to the Labour Party and the thought of the Party splitting was breaking my heart.

Following discussions with members of my CLP, I have tendered my resignation as Shadow Justice Minister, but I will continue to fight for my constituents from the back benches, and do all I can for the people of Neath, for Wales and for my Party."
