THE Labour leadership must offer a more progressive and bold policy platform if it is to recover after a dire night for the party across England, senior party figures warned today.
Sir Keir Starmer has come under fire from the left after Labour suffered a crushing defeat in the Hartlepool by-election, with a number of key council seats being lost to the Tories as well.
Results from key mayoral contests and final tallies from the Scottish and Welsh parliamentary elections are not expected until tomorrow.
