Absolutely gutted to be so near, yet so far.

It has been my honour to serve citizens in the WM for the last seven years, and I hope I have done it with dignity & integrity.

I am proud of what we have achieved together and I hope my successor can build upon it.

Thank you all.

Wishing Andy Street all the very best. 

And congratulations Richard Parker for West Mids Mayor 🌹.

In the beginning, 45 years ago on May 4th in 1979, the first single by 2-Tone Records was released featuring songs by The Specials & The Selecter Gangsters v The Selecter.

Congratulations to Richard Parker for West Mids Mayor 🌹 as he becomes WM Mayor and best wishes now as he leads the region.
Andy Street is a remarkable man of great integrity who I have huge respect for. He has achieved so much and leaves a huge legacy for the region from his work.

Two firearms officers who bravely confronted armed robbers more than 5 years ago have finally been cleared of wrongdoing.

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley: 'This put untold strain on their professional and personal lives.'

Genuine reform of police accountability is urgently needed.

Wonderful morning United By 2022 shortlisting #Wm50 nominees for WMLieutenancy . An extremely tough task with amazing nominees engaged in volunteering in the region.

Sir John Crabtree is pleased that the announcement has now been made about his successor. Dr Derrick Anderson will take over as Lord-Lieutenant when Sir John retires in August and we look forward to working with him.

This promises to be an excellent event, highlighting the benefits of winning The King's Awards

Too much uninformed criticism of Metropolitan Police on these challenging protests. Sir Mark is spot on.
Officers are trying to keep the peace in a highly charged environment.
