Meanwhile, Labour's Wes Streeting said his party was"confident but not complacent" after Thursday's results, which saw them gain over 500 seats and control of another 22 councils.
The shadow health secretary told Sophy Ridge:"I think those results do point to enormous progress made under [Sir] Keir Starmer's leadership."He's changed the Labour Party - now he's got a hearing to be able to change the country. But there's more to do." Mr Streeting promised the party would be setting out more of its big"missions" in the coming weeks, including its plans to tackle issues in the NHS and education.
But while he insisted Labour would"win the next general election", he did not rule out entering a coalition with the Liberal Democrats when pushed, instead saying he was"not entertaining the prospect". The shadow minister added:"This is a process, not an event. We're not at the final destination yet in terms of the general election."
