Labour leadership 'has lost will to live', says Alistair Darling

Alistair Darling has revealed his frustration at the collapse in Labour morale under Gordon Brown, accusing his party – from the prime minister down – of handing power to the Tories without a fight.
On the eve of what many MPs believe could be Labour's final conference as a governing party for a decade, the normally restrained chancellor delivers a stinging rebuke to the entire Labour hierarchy, which he says appears to have lost "the will to live", and warns that a Conservative government would "crash the economy".
