Alex Cunningham, the MP for Stockton North and a Christian, has asked God to help bring the party together after the unsuccessful leadership challenge by Owen Smith. He was speaking after Jeremy Corbyn was re-elected leader of the Labour Party, winning 62% of the vote. Mr Corbyn said, ‘I will do everything I can to bring our party together, to make it an engine of progress for our country and the people that depend on the Labour Party to protect their interests, and win power to deliver real change in this country. We have much more in common than that which divides us.’ Alex Cunningham said, ‘My prayer for the party is for unity, first and foremost.’
