Former Labour leader Lord Kinnock has said it “doesn’t look like” his party can win the general election.

Speaking to the New Statesman, Lord Kinnock also said the prime minister had been “poisonously misrepresented by the press”.

The Labour peer added that his party is suffering after being in power for 13 years and that he was “not as fearful” of a hung parliament as others.

But Lord Kinnock refused to be drawn on a coalition with the Liberal Democrats.

“The likely outcome of this election is more difficult to predict than any other in our political life,” he added.
