David Cameron has praised the Conservative Party's success in local elections across the UK but failed to mention his party's performance in the race for City Hall.
The Prime Minister said the Labour Party had "lost touch" with those they claim to represent, despite Sadiq Khan looking set to be officially unveiled as the new Mayor of London and Labour taking one of the London Assembly seats off the Tories.
In an interview he said: "The Labour Party have completely lost touch with the hardworking people they are supposed to represent.
"They are so obsessed with their left wing causes and unworkable economic policies they they forget that people want jobs, people want livelihoods, people want lower taxes, people want homes they can live in and afford to own. The things were are now delivering."
Speaking about the Conservative Party's performance in council elections across the country, Mr Cameron said: "It is remarkable that six years into government, six years running our country, we have got more councillors than any other political party.
"Local election day for sitting Prime Ministers is meant to be a day of dread. It is meant to be a day where your sitting there waiting for someone to knock on the door like the condemned man waiting for the hang man, but that was not what it was like last night or wasn't what it was like today.
"We have held councils right across the country, we have won seats in England.
"After six years in power, we are actually strengthening out position in local government and I think it tells you three things.
"First of all it tells you we have got amazing, hardworking councillors, hardworking council leaders, hard working campaigners - people who do a brilliant job standing up for local people, standing up for local communities."
The Prime Minister also spoke about the Scottish elections and joked he would not have believed his party would have been the second strongest in Scotland.
He added: "It is a great day for our party."
