Sir Keir Starmer said he was “deeply disappointed” by Labour’s loss in the Welsh Parliament by-election and conceded the ruling party “clearly need to do much more”.
The Prime Minister said the UK and Welsh administrations need to “reflect and regroup” after Friday’s result, which saw Plaid Cymru sweep to victory with Reform UK coming second.
Asked whether he would resign if he could not turn around Labour’s fortunes by the Senedd elections in May, Sir Keir said: “In relation to the by-election, look, I’m deeply disappointed in the results.
“I’m not going to suggest otherwise.
“I spoke to the First Minister this morning, and clearly we need to reflect and regroup and double down on delivery in Wales, and we clearly need to do much more.”
