Labour celebrate mayoral election success
The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing growing pressure, after his party took a battering at the polls in the local elections.
The biggest upset, saw Labour's Richard Parker snatch victory in the West Midlands from Conservative mayor Andy Street -- a result described by Sir Keir Starmer as phenomenal.
After a partial recount, 1,508 votes was all that separated the two candidates.

Next general election people will be voting because they are pissed off with both mainstream parties. Lib dem, Green party Reform UK, Workers party and independent will be winning and it'll be like fish market in Parliament. Labour party will be largest party without overall majority.
The two party system needs to go !!!!!
National debt has increased by over £2 trillion under the Tories despite Austerity measures. Population has increased by 5 million under the Tories The Tories have slashed 25,000 Police jobs 49 Fire stations have closed People are losing jobs to automation UK has lost 330,000 jobs due to Brexit Tories has brought the UK to the Syrian, Libyan, Ukrainians and Palestinian war no one has asked for They want to raise the Pension age to 75 years old The Tories hate the public yet want the same public to vote for them.

Richard Parker was born in Bristol and moved to the West Midlands in 1985. He has a house in Bromsgrove and a flat in Birmingham. Andy Street was born in Banbury. His family moved to Birmingham when he was an infant and later to Solihull. In 1985, he moved to London and later to Milton Keynes, then Kent, returning to Birmingham around 2011. He now has a home in the West Midlands and shares a home in Snowdonia with his life partner. Maybe most folks are "imported" to some extent.
