Andy represents the best of politics. He put our region firmly on the map and itโs been an honour and privilege to work for him, with him and to call him a friend. Our region is so much better off for having had @andy4wm at the helm for the last 7 years ๐ https://t.co/lW1en1BGQR

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. https://t.co/OnKApj6Voz
