UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday vowed to “prove doubters wrong” as he faced growing pressure within the Labour Party following poor local election results. Addressing Labour MPs, Starmer admitted the government had made mistakes but defended its major political decisions. “Like every government, we’ve made mistakes... but we got the big political choices right,” he said. Starmer also accepted responsibility for Labour’s losses, saying the results “hurt”. The remarks came amid internal criticism, with Labour MP Catherine West hinting at a possible leadership challenge and senior leaders questioning the party’s direction. (PC: BBC)
