A “mainstream majority” of voters do not want Nigel Farage or Zack Polanski to be prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer has insisted to Labour MPs after the party’s defeat at the Gorton and Denton by-election.

The Prime Minister sought to win over his backbenchers with the message at a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) on Monday.
