Commission This

Andy Malkinson presumably has a lot of readjustment to do, and in any case he does not appear to live in Greater Manchester, if he ever has.

So it would be a bit much to suggest that he might stand for Police and Crime Commissioner there.

But that leaves the way clear for Zayna Iman, whom we may hope that Mr Malkinson would endorse.

Meanwhile, in Surrey, over to Caroline Farrow.
