Tony Blair’s former spin doctor was talking to radio host John Nicolson on TalkRADIO when he was asked what his position was when it came to voting for Labour on May 23. But the response Mr Nicholson received was sinuous and confusing. Mr Campbell said: “I’m a very, very tribal person in all sorts of different ways and the Labour Party – the position they’ve set out form the national executive is pretty much the bare minimum that you’d vote for in terms of the people’s vote.

“But I’m going to wait and see for the final wording of the manifesto.

“I’m sort of umm-ing and ahh-ing at the moment.”

Mr Nicolson attempts to pin the politician down, interrupting: “I get the tribalism thing but it would be very difficult for you, given the campaign that you’ve been running, to vote for a manifesto that was ambiguous on whether or not Labour was for or against Brexit, surely?”

Mr Campbell responded slowly: “Yes, so therefore let’s see…

“I’ll tell you one thing – I really hope that the Labour Party doesn’t do what it looks like it might do…

“But I understand sometimes there might be a difference between the public posture that parliamentarians take, like Corbyn up in Manchester today.

“But actually, if they do the deep analysis of these results…”

At this point the radio veteran appeared bored before raising his finger to the air and swinging it round and round, motioning that Mr Campbell needed to wrap up his remarks

But Mr Campbell continued, unperturbed: “Any deep analysis of these results does not say to you, as Theresa May and the BBC seem to be saying, this is the public saying ‘get on with it, sort it out.’

“Any analysis says this country is not coming together behind any vision of Brexit right now.”

The local elections have been labelled a disaster for both Tory and Labour Parties after they lost 1334 and 82 seats respectively, whilst the Lib Dems gained an astonishing 703 seats with leader Sir Vince Cable calling every vote received “a vote for stopping Brexit”.
