Labour’s shock victory in the West Midlands mayoral election was a “phenomenal result” which was “beyond our expectations”, Sir Keir Starmer said, as the Conservatives were trounced in the local elections.
“People across the country have had enough of Conservative chaos and decline and voted for change with Labour. Our fantastic new mayor Richard Parker stands ready to deliver a fresh start for the West Midlands.” “I have heard you. I have listened. And I am determined to meet your concerns and to gain your respect and trust again in the future.”
It was only in the Tees Valley mayoral contest where the Prime Minister could take solace in a Tory victory. Suella Braverman, the Conservative former home secretary was quick out of the gate to lay the blame for Tory losses at the door of Downing Street. Outgoing West Midlands mayor Mr Street meanwhile urged the Conservative leader not to stray rightwards and stick to a moderate path in order to win votes in the future.
