Starmer can learn lessons from Thatcher after devastating local election loss to Reform claims former Labour minister

Louise Haigh says Keir Starmer can learn lessons from the way Margaret Thatcher embraced conflict - as he sets about recovering from the local election defeats.

In an exclusive interview with GB News, Haigh, admitted to feeling alarm over her party's response to last week's polling performance and that action was needed to avoid an "existential crisis" at the next General Election.

Speaking to Gloria De Piero, Haigh also admitted she came to quitting politics altogether after she was axed as Transport Secretary.

But she changed her mind thanks to the support of friends, and is now determined to fight from the backbenches. She has called on the PM to "pick a side" and also urged him to introduce a wealth tax.
