Labour has been celebrating a key win in the West Midlands mayoral race after its candidate, richard parker, narrowly beat the conservatives Andy Street Who had served two terms in the role. The labour mayor of london, sadiq khan, was re elected for a historic third term. Overall, the conservatives lost hundreds of councillors in the local elections in england.
