Earlier this month, the Labour Party was heavily defeated in the Hartlepool by-election and the Tees Valley mayoral contest.

It also lost council seats, but won the West Yorkshire and West of England mayoral contests.

Former shadow home secretary Diane Abbott described the results as "ruinous" and warned last week that if Labour lost the forthcoming Batley and Spen by-election, it "must surely be curtains" for Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer.

So what does the future look like for the Labour leader?
