Rishi Sunak could face a leadership challenge after disastrous results for his party.
Transcript
00:00It's the biggest test of Rishi Sunak's premiership and it's fair to say it hasn't gone well for
00:07the beleaguered PM.
00:09Labour made significant gains in their local elections across England and Wales, winning
00:14control of several Leave voting councils.
00:18They seized Rushmore and Redditch, previously held by the Conservatives for decades, and
00:22gained Hartlepool, Thurrock and Peterborough councils.
00:26The Conservatives lost control of north-east Lincolnshire, leaving Neva party with a majority.
00:32These areas all heavily supported Leave in the Brexit referendum.
00:36However, Labour faced losses in Oldham, attributed to its stance on the Gaza conflict.
00:43Despite this setback, Labour retained controls of councils like Sunderland, South Tyneside
00:48and Chorley, while the Greens made gains in Newcastle.
00:52Rishi now will be asking exactly what they want from their councils moving forward.
