Meanwhile a new attempt is to be made to attract more traditional centre right voters back to the #conservativeparty . This was announced yesterday by #ruthdavidson - now a baroness - and the former mayor of the #westmidlands - now Sir #andystreet . A further shift in the kaleidoscope of #ukpolitics ?

Rumoured results from Birmingham in the Mayor Against the West Midlands:
ConLab A: 80,251
ConLab B: 66,296
Ind-Yakoob: 42,953
Three others: about 20,000
In 2012, we were asked if we wanted a "strong mayor".
No: 120,611
Yes: 88,085
"No mayor" has beaten all candidates.
Whichever ConLab "wins" tonight's count has no democratic mandate. At all.
Always respect the will of the people, not just when it's convenient.
