LABOUR’S campaign floundered in Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow today as party leaders disputed whether they should have won the 2019 election or not.

The new lapse into incoherence followed a reluctant admission wrung out of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer that Mr Corbyn would have been a better prime minister than Boris Johnson.

But that was going too far for some of his acolytes, including shadow science secretary Peter Kyle, who could not bring himself to agree. And before long Sir Keir himself was declining to repeat the preference.
