Labour's win in the West Midlands has left Rishi Sunak with 'just one man standing', Sky's political editor Beth Rigby says. The Conservatives have now lost all of the mayoral races in this election, with the exception of Tees Valley. Beth says one senior Labour figure has told her the West Midlands was the Tory scalp Labour really wanted - and were pulling resources from Tees Valley to make it happen.
The 'energy and the euphoria was palpable' within the Labour camp after victory was declared, Beth says.'They were so wired, excited, euphoric about this win because for them it is huge.'She says you could feel among the Labour activists, and Sir Keir Starmer himself, that they are beginning to feel 'they can really do this' in the general election.Symbolically they can say 'we took your crown jewel in the West Midlands and we are coming for those seats'.
