valley would be sort of tory holdouts. i think most people thought that york and north yorkshire would be conservative as well. yet actually, that is a vast swathe of this country's cities and broader regions which are going to be governed by labour party politicians. and that's going to happen whatever happens in the general election. they're going to be in theirjobs for the next four years and that will have a big impact on the communities around the country. what's interesting, though, is what happens next for, i mean, both the big parties, but we've talked a lot about the tories and their nightmare in the last couple of days. i think what's also interesting, where do labour go next? when are they going to start giving more clarity on things like their policy on immigration? we asked pat mcfadden about that this morning, answer came there none, although he did say that if they win and there have been migrants who have gone to rwanda, they will not bring them back. so he did say that they would stop the scheme, but he wo

the conservatives had that win in tees valley. ben houchen. again, there were some who were thinking the model then who were thinking the model in tees valley could be replicated here, a locally known mayor, someone who almost distanced himself with the party and is seen in their own person. and could they win again here? could andy street win? well, it didn't happen here. and that was a huge, huge celebration for the labour party and it wasjust around 9:00 orjust before 9:00 when we saw lots of members of the labour party take to the floor in front of the stage here. you could see some hugging, some visibly moved. i even saw some tears as well because even though the party threw a lot at this west midlands mayoral race and sir keir starmer had said throughout the campaign they thought they could do it, nobody really knew who was going to win. it was that close. and suddenly we found out through the course of the evening that sir keir starmer had turned up in birmingham and he'd come in person to congratulate the new mayor, richard parker, and

the previous funds that this replaced have already been cut by a third to places like tees valley, getting much more than other parts of the country. this'll equate to taking money from the areas of the country to basically pay for mandatory gap years for a small number of young people, then forced volunteering for the rest. bluntly, that doesn't feel like a good use of public money, but in reality some of those vulnerable young people won't get that support, because the money to pay for that will have been taken away instead pay for what is essentially election gambit. i think if it ever did happen, i don't think it would necessarily be very helpful to achieve much. but if you got up government who's been in powerfor five years promising levelling up, and taking away its most resourceful spending, we are about to celebrate ten years since george 0sborne's speech on the northern powerhouse. it feels like the conservative party hasn'tjust rescinded on those promises made ten years ago, but also the promises rishi sunak made as chancellor under borisjohnson as prime minister. as chancellor u
