Plan had not yet come to fruition. Our first report is from our Political Correspondent, hannah miller. Applause. Labour won mayors, councils, and police and crime commissioners. Rishi sunak left clinging on to just one mayor in the tees valley. Even his majority diminished. This morning, the former home secretary, and one of the Prime Ministers biggest critics, warned of a total wipe out for the conservatives. I despair at these terrible results. Theres no spinning these results, theres no disguising the fact that these have been terrible Election Results for the conservatives and they suggest that we are heading to a labour government. Her prescription for the pm. He needs to actually lower taxes in a way that people will feel, not tweaking round the edges.
