Kemi Badenoch has said it would be wrong to think a change of leader would "fix everything" after the Conservatives suffered heavy losses in English local elections.
The Tory leader told the BBC her party would "come out fighting" after losing 674 council seats and control of 16 authorities.
But she cautioned against a knee-jerk response, saying the party's issues were "not going to be fixed after six months" of her leadership.
She said: "Reform had a good night. We had a bad night. And what this shows for a lot of people who hoped that just changing leader again would fix everything is that that's not going to be enough. We tried that previously. And that brought us to a historic defeat."
