Your support makes all the difference.Just a third of voters think Labour will regain power by 2025, a poll suggests.
Only 15 per cent of people said they expected to see Labour win an election in 2020, while 18 per cent said they thought it would happen in 2025.
The ICM poll, for The Guardian, also found Labour lags behind the Conservatives, with 27 per cent of support compared to the Tories' 42 per cent.
The poll also found that, of the 1,984 adults surveyed online, 43 per cent thought Brexit would have a negative impact on the British economy, while 38 per cent said it would have a positive effect.
The majority thought Brexit would make no difference to their personal finances at 54 per cent, while just 12 per cent thought it would have a positive impact and 34 per cent a negative effect.
Jeremy Corbyn has issued a three-line whip to order his MPs to vote for the Government's Brexit bill at its final hurdle in the Commons, Labour sources told The Independent.
The issue caused heated debate at a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) yesterday, after 47 MPs defied Jeremy Corbyn and voted against formally launching the withdrawal negotiations with the EU last week.
Labour MPs said the party's chief whip Nick Brown had indicated there would be "consistency" in dealing with the passage of the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill.
The failure of shadow home secretary Diane Abbott to take part in the Brexit vote was also raised at the PLP, after the close Corbyn ally said a migraine had forced her to go home early.
Critics accused Ms Abbott of falling victim to "Brexit flu" because her constituency voted overwhelmingly in the referendum to Remain.
