Keir Starmer has said the Labour Party is "back on track" to win an election after taking key Tory strongholds in London and modest gains across England in last night's local elections.
The Labour leader was in Barnet, which alongside Westminster and Wandsworth, Labour had snatched from the Tories in London.
But he also hailed victories in Cumberland and Southampton as evidence the party was winning "north and south" and recovering from "the depths of 2019" when Jeremy Corbyn took Labour to an historic defeat.
