Left MPs call for party to be bolder in face of ‘turmoil’ caused by Tories
Ian Lavery, Sir Keir Starmer and Richard Burgon
TWO left Labour MPs have called on the party to “fight back now” in the wake of a survey showing that most members don’t believe they will win the next election.
Former party chairman Ian Lavery said yesterday that it is “not surprising” if a majority of Labour members think they will lose, given perceptions of weak opposition to a government in crisis.
A LabourList survey found that 55 per cent of readers felt a “Conservative or Conservative-led administration” was the most likely result of the next election – following a ConservativeHome survey which found that 74 per cent of Tories believed they would win a majority.
