In this second podcast about England's local election results Adrian Goldberg reflects on success for Labour in the mayoral elections. They held London despite some forecasts to the contrary and secured the West Midlands, where Richard Parker won the vote after a partial recount to see off the incumbent Andy Street.

Adrian is joined by Byline Times founder and executive editor Peter Jukes and Cllr Steve Evans – Deputy Leader of Wolverhampton City Council where Labour strengthened its grip on the local authority, winning 17 of 20 seats up for grabs.
