I&#8217;ll be interested to see what happens with the mayoral results across the country. I think it&#8217;s always going to be difficult when you&#8217;ve got somebody like Ben Houchen who had 73% of the vote last time round. The West Midlands will always be a difficult contest for the Labour party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;But I think we&#8217;re fairly confident about the picture nationally.
