i was discussing this with chris mason earlier as well. the thing that is slightly different with this is that you have seen the conservative incumbent here andy street almost distance himself from the national party. he's been big on brand andy, he says it's the place, not the party. so if he does end up winning, of course rishi sunak will take this as a real success. but many would say this has been about a local campaign rather than the national issues. irate campaign rather than the national issues. ~ ~' ., campaign rather than the national issues. ~ ,, ., ., ., ., , , , issues. we know from what happens in the west midlands _ issues. we know from what happens in the west midlands in _ issues. we know from what happens in the west midlands in 2021, _ issues. we know from what happens in the west midlands in 2021, we - issues. we know from what happens in the west midlands in 2021, we talked i the west midlands in 2021, we talked about this earlier, that is that while andy street won the mayoralty, it was at the same time a parallel ele
