Sir Keir Starmer hails 'astonishing result' in local election results

Sir Keir Starmer said Labour’s gain from the Conservatives has “sent a message” to Boris Johnson.

He thanked his teams for working hard across the capital and the country for helping the party achieve its gains.

Sir Keir told Labour supporters in Barnet, north London, on Friday morning: “We’ve sent a message to the Prime Minister: Britain deserves better.”

Sir Keir Starmer said: “The voters here (Barnet) have vindicated the hard work we’ve been doing and I’m absolutely delighted.

“Our brilliant teams and candidates have been out putting our message across that Britain deserves better than this Prime Minister, we need change.”
