Lost the West Midlands. Another reaction you could have is to say frankly, with the labour party 20 points ahead in the Opinion Polls and given that the West Midlands is pretty marginal territory, of course the labour party should be winning pretty much any political contest in that region because if they can win the contest in that region, we might ask questions cant win. It is a testament to andy streets personal popularity that albeit he may have lost narrowly, the fact that he has run labour so close i think he can take quite some considerable credit for because as we know, the parallel police and Commissioner Election the conservatives were quite a long way behind.
