YouTube Description
as posted by the channelUK PM Sir Keir Starmer admitted local election results overnight were 'tough' - and said there was 'no sugar-coating' them - as his party braced for disaster on Friday.
"The results are tough," he said. "They are very tough and there is no sugar coating this. We have lost brilliant labour representatives across the country. These are people who put so much into their communities, so much into our party and our movement. And that hurts. And it should hurt. And I take responsibility when voters send a message like this. We must reflect and we must respond." However, while he is facing many calls to quit - even from his own side - he has so far ruled that out, and tried to put the blame on other factors.
