13:36Now PlayingLabour MP and former Chancellor John McDonnell is devastated by Labour's local election performance.
Speaking to LBC's Lewis Goodall, the storied Labour politician said: "it looks disastrous".
"I'm worried, because we're being hit on all sides. We're being hit by Reform [...] but also, on all the analysis we've done, we're being hit by losing progressive votes as well," he said.
But worse than that, Mr McDonnell feels the damage could be 'existential' - as the grassroots of the party get pulled up.
