The London result is not confirmed, but early results from the capital have gone Sadiq Khan's way.
Here at the International Convention Centre in the middle of Birmingham, counting has now finished. For hours staff sat at trestle tables loaded with black boxes, sifting through piles of yellow ballot papers. Now they – and we wait – for that final result. It’s one of the most anticipated results of these elections. Conservative incumbent Andy Street - who has somewhat distanced himself from the national party through this campaign - is hoping he can secure a third term.
Labour’s Richard Parker is hoping to pull off a big coup for his party by unseating “Brand Andy”. Sources close to Andy Street tell me this race is “genuinely too close to call”. It’s a similar mantra from Labour here who say, 'this is neck and neck'. The result is key for both PM Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer.
