WATCH: Labour minister squirms as she's confronted by party's grim local election results

Watch as Justice Minister Sarah Sackman squirmed when she was confronted by her party's grim local elections record in the early hours of this morning.

Ms Sackman spoke to host Martin Daubney just as Labour had lost 128 seats - which he termed an "astonishing statistic".

He added: "The Labour Party, across 10 council areas, has lost 83 per cent of all of the seats it stood in. That is an historic low by some margin. It's turning into a terrible night for the Labour Party."

"It's looking like a very tough night," she admitted - but denied the local elections were a referendum on Labour's scandals in power.

"I don't think we need more leadership craziness and chatter and gossip," Ms Sackman said, turning her fire on the Tories - then GB News.

"That's Westminster bubble talk. It keeps your news channel... interested. But actually, when you're speaking to people on the doorstep, that's not what they're bothered by."
