UK PM Sunak promises to work 'as hard as ever' after disastrous local elections
Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer has hailed his party's "phenomenal result", which included Labour's Sadiq Khan being re-elected for a record third term as London Mayor on Friday. But Starmer also appealed to the voters who had punished the party over its weak stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict, after analysis showed that Labour suffered losses to independents and the anti-war Worker's Party of Britain in areas with large Islamic populations as a result.
