Sky News' political editor Beth Rigby asked the Labour leader what he thought about the prime minister's comments last week that an election is 'not what the country wants'.
' Beth Rigby analysis: He might not say it publicly, but Starmer thinks power is coming his way However, he insisted he was not scared of an election after months of lagging behind Labour in the polls, saying he believed he could still win.
