after his defeat, the now former mayor of the west midlands, andy street, urged the party to stick to the centre ground. ministers insist they are already acting decisively. we have a plan, and the plan is working. but voters are telling you they don't like it. but we're not all the way through yet. i think people want to see delivery, right, so they want to see inflation continue to come down. they want to see the boats stopped., for example, nhs waiting lists continue to fall. we've made a lot of progress on that, but we're not all of the way there yet. labour did see a drop in support in some areas where there's anger about its stance on the war in gaza. i do acknowledge that in some parts of the country, that was the case, and there will be some people who maybe voted labour in the past who haven't in the local elections because of this issue, and where that's the case, we'll work to get people's support back. but overall, i do have to stress, these were tremendous local election results. rishi sunak�*s fiercest critics seem to have decided against an attempt to drive him out of
