What’ll this do to Tory plans for more elected mayors?

Could the expansion programme be put on the back-burner?

Currently there are just twelve on them and the majority of referenda on having them have produced no votes.

I wonder whether one consequence of today’s Bedford result might be to put the expansion programme onSource: Political Betting RSS Feed
