Police are trying to find Farai Kambarami, 25, who has links to Portsmouth, London, Surrey and Wolverhampton, in connection with an attempted murder in Milton Keynes yesterday.

A 34-year-old woman was driving in central MK when a black Honda CR-V, registration BT57 0FE, struck her. She drove to a car park but was followed by the man in the Honda.

He got out of the car and attacked her with what police believe to be a knife, leaving her with stab wounds to the throat and arm.

Downing Street insists there's been no change in policy on elected mayors, following an article in The Times newspaper saying the PM was looking to, external "ditch the plans".

Both Lord Heseltine and the Chair of the West Midlands Combined Authority, Bob Sleigh, said from a political perspective they weren't overly concerned about anything changing to the devolution deal within our region as pen had already been put to paper, including the issue of a metro mayor.

The role is something that is still being hotly debated, of course, with some saying the role won't carry enough power while others think it an undemocratic idea in the first place.

But there's still an assumption among some that our deal is less significant to the government than the one going forward in Greater Manchester. Could that mean the metro mayor doesn't quite make it to the finish line in the West Midlands?
