Sir Keir Starmer is confident Labour will win a majority at the next general election, the party leader has said in an interview with ITV News Political Editor Robert Peston.
The man who believes he will replace Rishi Sunak as prime minister claimed Labour's success at the local elections in many of England's battleground constituencies shows the party's direction of travel.
"I'm confident that we can form a government with a majority," he said.
"And that's because of the numbers and the places that we have been winning."
