UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak officially launched the Conservative Party's local election campaign in Derbyshire with a series of critical remarks towards the Labour Party and its leader, Keir Starmer, whom he labeled as 'arrogant'. Sunak accused Labour of taking potential election victories for granted and criticized the financial management of Labour-controlled local governments, specifically highlighting the financial troubles of Birmingham City Council, described as effectively bankrupting the largest local authority in Europe. Sunak's campaign message emphasized the need for voters to demand a clear plan for government from Labour and to not let Starmer 'stroll into Number 10' without a challenge. The Prime Minister's rallying cry to Conservative supporters was to 'send a message' to Starmer and Labour by voting Tory in the upcoming elections, adding 'let's go and smash it'.
