All the evidence shows voters want Labour to shift to the left — but initial signs from Andy Burnham are worrying on that front, cautions DIANE ABBOTT
A CLARION call will ring through Bloomsbury’s Central Baptist Church today. Its echoes will carry a message of peace and hope — and a warning to the left.
