A HUNG parliament is “the best Labour can hope for” from a UK General Election, polling expert Professor John Curtice has said.

Curtice, who is the president of the British Polling Council, said that a Westminster election would likely see Keir Starmer have to strike a deal with either the SNP or the LibDems in order to put himself in Downing Street.
