The Tories have suffered some historic losses in Thursday's local elections, while Labour also claimed a big victory in the Blackpool South by-election. But in a relief for the prime minister, the Tory mayor of Tees Valley will keep his job.
The foreign secretary has described Rishi Sunak as a 'man with a plan' and insisted that disappointing local election results for the Conservatives will not automatically translate into defeat in the coming general election.Lord Cameron told Sky News he had experienced that for himself in the run up to the Tories' general election victory in 2015.At 1pm on Friday, his party had lost 145 council seats in England, while Labour had gained 62.
That is because Mr Sunak has a 'plan that is getting the economy growing, getting inflation falling, getting taxes coming down and investing in our security', the former prime minister added.Local elections often give governments 'tough results', he said, but what matters is to 'stick with the plan'.He commented: 'As I showed in 2015, you can have bad local election results and go on and win a general election.
