Liz Kendall

Congratulations to @jeremycorbyn , @Tom_Watson and all candidates for well-fought campaigns. Now let's take the fight to the Tories.

Still smiling. Outsider Liz Kendall arrives to hear the Labour leadership result, accompanied by her father.

I voted for @LizforLeader mainly for her ideas on the economy & devolution, but also because of this by @RowennaDavis newstatesman.com/politics/2015/…

@LizforLeader closes her campaign by speaking about the emotional ties she has to the Labour party

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported my campaign - read my closing speech here lizforleader.com/closingspeech

@LizforLeader Congrats and thank you for standing. You fought a principled, credible and dignified campaign and didn’t waver under pressure.

Here's the full text of Liz's closing speech of the #labourleadership lizforleader.com/closingspeech

@TheJoshuaLovell Hi Joshua, thank you so much. Whoever wins on Saturday, we need to build party of respectful debate- not abuse and slurs.

I will always loyally serve our party. Because we are the greatest champion of equality and opportunity this country has ever known.

But my view is that in politics as in life, you cannot deal w problems by ignoring or avoiding them #labourleadership

Those who want to lead our party can no longer tack-left to get the nomination, and tack-centre to win the country.

Our Leader will change on Saturday, but the challenges facing Labour will not. #labourleadership

.@LizforLeader right to say that we must be passionate about public service reform I know so many people lost in a quagmire of bureaucracy.

EU will be the defining political issue of our generation, and it will fall to Labour to lead the pro-European case- we can’t prevaricate

Cracking closing campaign speech by @LizforLeader She was my first choice when I voted.

Must never be frightened of discussion and should welcome contributions from all parts of our Party, which has always been a broad church.

Winning for Labour in London, and every single MSP, AM and councillor we gain, is a step closer to us returning to Government in the UK.

Spending billions on renationalisation won't create high skill, high wage jobs or win back public trust on economy

It's time to end the 'Blairite' 'Brownite' splits once and for all. #labourleadership

Everyone must accept the result and mandate of the new Leader. Must be given the space to pursue their agenda #labourleadership
