THE “resilience” shown by Labour members will “sow the seeds of future victories,” shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon told a rally last night.

Speaking at a packed meeting organised by the Arise festival in central London, Mr Burgon said: “It’s not easy when your heart is broken, when the exit poll comes through, when your favourite candidate doesn’t win.

“But we need to come through. We need to win next time.”
