A very good piece. I didn't much like Street. He did far more talking than walking and although when push came to shove he picked party before region, he did feel different to the Westminster Tory party.
I thought the Labour campaign was weak and lacked messaging beyond "we aren't Tories, your vote please". I have a little hope in Parker. I have been unimpressed by what little he has shown and he will be a loyal lap dog of a party leadership that almost zero understanding of the countries (and regions) problems or how to improve things for the vast majority of its citizens.
I do hope you enjoy catching up with the telly and your sleep, Jane!

I’ll be looking in detail at the trouble with Birmingham Labour in a future edition, look out for it

Richard is going to be a much better Mayor than Street. Street should have resigned over HS2.
