Labour is “determined to pull together” following the resignation of Alan Johnson, shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander has said.

He said the party would miss Mr Johnson’s “big contribution” but was united in its economic policy under the new shadow chancellor, Ed Balls.

Mr Balls and Labour leader Ed Miliband agreed that cuts were needed but the coalition was going too fast, he added.

But Labour needed to “offer answers” – not just “express anger”, he went on.
