Some newspapers focused on the future of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Times, Sir Keir vowed to “fight on and win the next election” after what the newspaper described as a “bruising week”. Analysts predicted Labor would suffer heavy losses in the May 7 election, with the newspaper reporting that a minister had been told Sir Keir’s team “will be forced to take action” if the party loses more than 1,500 council seats.
