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.

James Clverly has weighed in on the debate over whether multiculturalism has succeeded or failed in the UK.

Speaking to Gloria de Piero he said: "My worry about the idea of multiculturalism is that we have multiple cultures. And I don't buy that because my view is, is the British culture is by definition multifaceted.

"There's always been multiple elements to it. And if we recognize that, we can actually say, you can be British and proudly British and you should be proudly British, and your religion is not necessarily defining factor.

"Your ethnic heritage is not necessarily a defining factor. And the reason I think it's so important is because then it allows us to say we have pretty wide parameters. We're a pretty open and liberal society. But there are rules. Abide by the rules. And you know what? Be who you want to be. Don't abide by the rules. We have a problem."
