The Labour Party lost hundreds of council seats in England and suffered a defeat in Wales during the local elections. Starmer stated that difficult days will not weaken his resolve.

According to the BBC, Starmer is under pressure as the Labour Party faced substantial losses in the elections, leading to doubts about his leadership abilities.

The Independent reports that amid these challenges, Starmer is relying on support from former party leaders to navigate the situation.
