Stop the hopes
WE’VE suspected it for some time and yesterday we heard it straight from a Cabinet minister’s mouth.
Labour has effectively given up all hope of . The mood at the heart of government was summed up by one of Andy Burnham’s closest allies on another .

The survey predicts Labour would win most seats if an election were held today — .
