Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer has hailed his party s "phenomenal result", which included Labour s Sadiq Khan being re-elected for a record third term as London Mayor on Friday. But Starmer also appealed to the voters who had punished the party over its weak stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict, after analysis showed that Labour suffered losses to independents and the anti-war Worker s Party of Britain in areas with large Islamic populations as a result.
UK News: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak refuses to apologise for a comment about opposition leader Keir Starmer's gender identity. The comment has sparked criticism, particularly in light of a recent tragic murder of a transgender girl. Sunak's Conservative Party is using identity politics to portray the Labour Party as too liberal. Sunak defended his remarks, highlighting Starmer's changing positions on significant policies. However, he has faced accusations of insensitivity and calls for an apology.
Rishi Sunak also saw his popularity among Conservative Party voters slide to its lowest with 56% respondents saying they view the PM negatively, compared to 40% with positive view.
