Tories 'still have work to do', says Fuller after losses
Shadow Treasury Minister Richard Fuller admitted the Conservatives faced a “very difficult night” after losing nearly 700 seats and all 16 councils they were defending.
He said Reform UK had done well, partly due to public disillusionment with Labour, but warned the party would now need to prove itself beyond slogans.
Fuller said the Tories must rebuild trust ahead of future elections.
