Watch as Rishi Sunak faces Sir Keir Starmer in Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday 8 May.

It would be the first time the 2 leaders go head-to-head since final week’s native election outcomes.

The Conservatives suffered a mauling from the voters, dropping practically 500 council seats, the West Midlands mayoral race and the Blackpool South by-election.

Sir Keir has urged the prime minister to name a normal election “as quickly as possible” as he welcomed Labour’s latest MP to Parliament yesterday.

Chris Webb took his seat within the House of Commons 5 days after profitable the Blackpool South by-election with nearly 60 per cent of the vote.

Welcoming Mr Webb to parliament’s Westminster Hall, Sir Keir praised his “phenomenal victory” and hailed him as “the first born-and-bred Blackpool MP for 60 years”.

The Labour chief joked that the social gathering was “making a habit of this”, with Mr Webb making final Thursday’s by-election the eighth of the parliament to see Labour achieve a seat.
