Keir Starmer vowed to prove his ‘doubters’ wrong as he fought back against calls for him to quit. The UK prime minister said his party would ‘be better and do better’ as he took responsibility for Labour’s electoral mauling across England, Scotland and Wales last week. Describing the election results as ‘tough’, he told an audience in central London: ‘I get it, I feel it, and I take responsibility. ‘But it’s not just about taking responsibility for the results. It’s about taking responsibility to explain how, as a political and electoral force, we will be better and do better in the months and years ahead.’ He added: ‘I know I have my doubters, and I know I need to prove them wrong, and I will.’ Starmer also issued a warning to his party, saying Britain was ‘not just facing dangerous times, but dangerous opponents, very dangerous opponents’. He said: ‘This hurts, not just because Labour has done badly, but because if we don’t get this right, our country will go down a very dark path.’ By Press Association Political Staff Press Association: News source: PA Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
