May "taking nothing for granted" after local election wins

Theresa May has said she is "taking nothing for granted" in the June 8 General Election despite an emphatic set of Conservative local election victories which have put her firmly on track to substantially increase her House of Commons majority. The Prime Minister said she would be fighting every day of the next five weeks to "earn the support of the British people" to strengthen her hand in negotiations with the European Commission over Brexit. Tories were celebrating historic gains across the country, picking up more than 450 councillors and gaining control of 10 authorities as they made deep inroads into parts of Scotland and Wales which had been no-go areas for a generation.
