'What the heck does that mean, aspiration?'

Today

Available for over a year

Lord Prescott has said Labour needed a 鈥渇undamental change 鈥 both in organisation and the development of our ideas" if the party is to win the next election. If the SNP keeps all the seats it won in Scotland on 7 May, Labour would need a 12% lead over the Conservatives in England and Wales to win a majority. Questioning the use of phrases like 鈥渁spiration鈥 and 鈥渉ard-working people鈥, the former deputy Prime Minister and Labour party deputy leader, said Labour needed to use new language to convince voters. But he added that the party's leadership election limited the amount of time needed for a vital debate.
