British Prime Minister Keir Starmer insists he will carry on as prime minister despite his Labour party suffering disastrous local election losses. He acknowledged it has been a tough night for Labour.
Starmer said, "Let me be clear, these are really tough results. I am not going to sugarcoat it. 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. The voters have sent a message about the pace of change, how they want their lives improved. I was elected to meet those challenges and I'm not going to walk away from those challenges and plunge the country into chaos."
Nigel Farage's Reform UK made gains across the country as hundreds of Labour councillors were voted out.
Farage said the results showed a "truly historic shift in British politics" away from the old era of Labour and Conservative domination vowing "the best is yet to come" for his party.
