Keir Starmer acknowledges election ‘challenge’ Labour face amid Mandelson pressure

Labour faces a “challenge” in Thursday’s elections across England, Wales and Scotland, Sir Keir Starmer has acknowledged, amid reports that MPs are already plotting to oust him for fear of heavy losses for the party.

The majority of people care about the cost-of-living crisis when casting their ballot, the Prime Minister said, as he insisted the Government would aim to fulfil its “duty” to the public to protect them from rising costs caused by the war in the Middle East.

Sir Keir made the remarks at a Labour campaign rally in south London on Tuesday, amid reports that his backbenchers are reported to be drafting a letter blaming him for the expected loss of hundreds of council seats across England, and calling on him to set a date for his resignation.

In speaking order:
Miatta Fahnbulleh
Labour's deputy leader, Lucy Powell
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer
