Labour Elections Chief Despondency
"Labour’s elections chief expects party to be cut down to 140 seats"

"Labour’s elections team expects the party to be left with just 140 seats after the election, The Spectator has learned."
"Perhaps a more effective message to get out during this strange election is that even Corbyn’s backers such as McCluskey plan to remove him after polling day, so voters can support Labour knowing that the Opposition won’t be led by someone who they do not like or trust. "
The Spectator article was updated saying:
"A Labour Party spokesperson says: ‘There is no such prediction or poll. This is categorically untrue.’"
I guess they would say that wouldn't they?!
