Guardian Peter Hain, one of the earliest shadow cabinet supporters of Ed Miliband, has urged the shadow Treasury team to do more to make Labour’s case for growth in the aftermath of the local elections. Hain, writing for Progress Online, suggests he would like the party to be less equivocal about its economic policy and warns that if the party is to win an outright majority at the general election it will need to be performing electorally better than at present.
