As he seeks re-election, Andy Street is promoting ‘Brand Andy’ in a contest that could affect whether Rishi Sunak survives as PM
The Tory mayor of the West Midlands, Andy Street, has said he wants voters to focus on him and his record, not the performance of the Conservative party nationally, when deciding whether he should be given a third term in charge of England’s second- largest region.
In an interview with the Observer, Street said he was busy promoting what he calls “Brand Andy, the individual” rather than operating under his party’s colours, in a contest which could affect whether Rishi Sunak survives as prime minister and leads the Tories into the next general election.
