Parties are making their final pitch to voters ahead of Thursday's local elections in England, as Sir Keir Starmer faces the first major electoral test of his premiership.

Later, in the dying days of Johnson's premiership he was sacked after urging the PM to resign.

But they decided to reveal the details to ensure the "full story" of Wilson's premiership was told after Ms Hewlett-Davies died in 2023.

David Cameron spoke about the UK needing to win the "global race" in the early days of his premiership although the phrase was later dropped.

His approval levels before his resignation were just 22% - a far cry from the first year of his premiership, when 65% of voters said they approved of him.
