What Labour hopeful's 'we threw election for Tories' admission means

Refusing to confirm facts is a baseline of political discourse. That’s why, for example, Labour are flatly refusing to say GB Energy will be based in Aberdeen, when everyone all but knows it will be.The world of shady backroom deals and pacts between opposing parties is supposed to remain in those shady backrooms.
