that is one of the key themes of andy street's conservative campaign, whereas the certainly the comeorway. now, the turn out and there are fears that there will be a low turn out because there is an active debate about whether this mayor is desirable or not, fears in some quarters it could be under 20%, not helped by the fact that there are no council elections on the same day. how ever, outside that metropolitan area we have five shire counties going to the poll, all conservative controlled with majority administrations apart from warwickshire, the challenge will be can they become a majority administration. interesting for the liberal democrat, they rise to ride the tide of the brexit bans 1a councillors, will they concentrate support and make a difference there is this the key this thing this will establish the mood music going into june 8th. thank you very much. patrick burns in birmingham. we will talk more about that election campaign, the one forjune 8th in the next few minutes, we will pause now, we will catch up with the weather with nick. nick i can tell you what is it do,

here in the west midlands people now have a strong local champion in the new mayor, andy street.n the general election is, who should lead the country for the next five years, me orjeremy corbyn? not a single vote has been passed in the election yet. none of the votes cast yesterday will count in the general election on the 8th ofjune in the minds of european politicians, there is not a mandate to take into the brexit negotiations. i'm taking nothing for granted in the next five weeks. i need support across the ice ‘s kingdom to strengthen my hand for the only vote for me and my team will ensure britain has the strongest leadership we need in order to ensure we get the best deal for britain from brexit. on wednesday you clearly implied there was some in brussels who are trying to meddle in this election. what evidence do you have of that? we saw a number of statements coming out from brussels. what people have seen over the last week is that these negotiations are going to be tough at times. that means they need strong and stable leadership here in the uk, sitting around that neg

the former retail sector boss andy street won a tight contest with labour for the west midlands areangham. he says he hopes the government will continue to invest in the region. the good news is that in the deal between the west midlands and central government to set up the major role team that combined the authorities, we did get substantial new money. we can make a good start with the money we have already won. another thing the mayor has got to do a champion this region and say there is a brilliant case for central government continuing to invest in the west midlands. of course i will be talking to the prime minister about that. labour's national campaign coordinator, ian lavery, has admitted the general election will be "challenging" but says the party will be talking and listening to people. and speaking on the today programme he rejected the idea that the new mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, had snubbed jeremy corbyn by not appearing with him at a rally in manchester. jeremy did exactly what was expected of him. because andy was not there at that particulartime, lam n

andy street was the victor in a tight contest for mayor in the west midlands area.s he hopes the government will continue to invest in that region. the good news is in the deal that was struck between the west midlands and central government we did get substantial new money. yes, we can make a good start with the money we have already got. another thing the mayor has got to do is championed this region and say this region is a brilliant case for central government continuing to invest in the west midlands. yes, i will be talking to the prime minister about that. labour's campaign coordinator, ian lavery, rejected the idea that mr burnham had snubbed the party's leader. jeremy beadle exactly what was expected of him. because andy was not there at that particular time, i am not sure why, but i have got to dispel this myth that there is a rift between andy burnham and jeremy corbyn because there is not. they are quite good friends and they served in the shadow cabinet right up served in the shadow cabinet right up until the time where he decided to seek nominations for

residents vote for a mayor who will have a budget of 36.5 million a year, less than 1% of the turnover andy streett is not conservative blue but labour read that appears to have the advantage in this region. labour have an active campaign based to mobilise. in this heavily brexit voting area, sion simon has come up with a slogan that sums up what he believes the mayor can do. he wants to keep the campaign locally focused. take back control, i have heard that before. i have made this argument for seven years. here being in charge of our destiny, running our own services, being in charge of our own money. don't underestimate how much of the shark the election of a conservative mayor will be to the labour establishment that runs so much of this region. with just over a month to the general election it would allow the conservatives to claim they have broken down the red wall in one of labour's urban heartlands, and perhaps can become a party of more than the english shires and suburbs. injune, a uniform swing of 5% to the conservatives would see six labour seats in this region go blue. if it was 10%,

the quote is the rebirth of the conservatives and that came from andy street who won for the conservatives preference votes and he won by just over second preference votes and he won byjust over 2000 votes. but he spent almost £1 million prior to when the cat came in on the mayoral elections focusing on seats. in places like walsall labour has done traditionally well, but he managed to turn those. but it is interesting because of the interview you had with angus robertson of the snp. if you look at the scottish papers, a quote from the scottish daily record, they say in 1992 the conservatives completed the massacre of the industrial heartland with the closure of ravenscraig. 25 years later at tory is elected councillor for the area which has changed dramatically. it is a newtown, etc. the scottish daily mail is talking about nicola stu rgeon's the scottish daily mail is talking about nicola sturgeon's gamble backfiring because of the rise of the conservatives. what the snp‘s position has allowed the conservatives to do, and if you go back a few decades you would never imagined this progres

andy street for example, you concede they are powerfulfigures. example, you concede they are powerfultro mayors, how does it impact other european countries? are mayors have limited powers, they can't raise taxes or spend money in certain areas like us or european mayors. what we will see i think, is males getting more power. as people recognise what they can do. we will see more power going towards these ten to, grow towel. thanks —— we will see more power to our next guest has researched these positions closely. these are good development for british politics?” think it is. england has been centralised for far too long and these will be powerful positions. however, i think it's worth qualifying that in the sense that although yes they will be powerful figures, but are actually in a double bind. many of the devolved powers are actually powers devolved to the combined authorities. the first thing the metro mayors will have to do is work in a good, constructive relationship with their combined authorities. the turnout in these elections wasn't huge, it often isn't in local elections, d

street, then. let's return to andy moore, whojoins us street, then. have been following the story since the developments broke. just give us a sense of how much we do know, and what we are still waiting to find out. we know from greater manchester police that there was an explosion. they have not identified the source of it. they say they are treating it as a terrorist incident. they say at least 19 people have been killed, and 50 injured. we have from british transport police that the seat of the explosion was in the foyer area. heard from manchester arena saying that the explosion happened outside their venue in a public space. what we do not know is really because of the explosion. we get a reports from us security sources, talking about a suicide bomber. now, that has not been confirmed by british police yet. we are expecting a press conference to happen shortly. certainly, some of the eyewitnesses have talked about the eyewitnesses have talked about the blast being outside the building, and they were blown into the arena by the force of the explo

street, andy, the conservative party candidate is duly elected as mayor for the west midlands.s mayoral contest shows that the conservatives are on the march in labour heartlands. the giants of the labour movement would be stunned as bastians fell. glasgow and the land of michael foot. they won greater manchester and liverpool, giving the party some hope that urban areas may save it from meltdown on the 8thjune. ukip changed the country by laying the ground for the brexit vote. but in their success, they may very well have put themselves out of business. on the other side there was little sign of a bounce from aggrieved k rfiieeffieeafl eart'fl ' " " in the un with nicola sturgeon. talk us through the snp‘s fortunes today? do you agree we've reached peak nat in the words of ruth davidson? we possible have. you heard in my report that labour has lost control of glasgow. what is interesting. they might be talking about it in a few decades time today, is the return of the conservative party. 20 years ago they were wiped out in scotland, today they are back and back in unexpected place

, former boss of the john lewis midlands, and andy street, former boss of thejohn lewis department storebeen a very close run thing, this contest, and as you say counting is just really in the very early stages. we don't expect anybody to have an overall majority, 50% plus, on the first count, it is almost certainly going to go to second preferences and that obviously does add a certain number of vagaries to the whole process, but i can tell you it is a real knife edge, there is no real confidence i think on either side, nobody has had the temerity to think they have it in the bag, and it is very big job, this it is a major set of political spending powers devolved from westminster, whitehall, to head an area through the black country, birmingham, coventry. i rememberthe architects of this originally were david cameron and george osborne and they said, for the maximum level of devolution to be had in to authorities like that, you need a focal point at the top for accountability, the elected mayor. a controversial figure, accountability, the elected mayor. a controversialfigure, and accou
