"Labour has not has a clear credible position on Brexit," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "And until it gets that, it's not going to win back the support of many many people that it's lost."

Campbell, who was expelled from the party for voting for the Liberal Democrats in the EU elections, wouldn't be drawn on when he would be voting Labour again, but said he had wanted to.

He pointed out the latest polls which say that 41% of people who ordinarily are Labour supporters, did not vote Labour in the EU elections.

"Unless the Labour Party adopts a credible, coherent position, commits to a People's Vote and campaigns on it, then they will be complicit in my view in helping Boris Johnson become prime minister ... and crash out with no deal," he said.
