English mega-local elections, 2021

What is it with Lib Dems become a 'rich people's party' in London?

Probably the suburbs as much as if not more so than London.

Do, I have this correct: Labour won 11 of the 13 regional mayoralties (I'm not sure if that includes London  or 'Greater London' which is really just the city of London.)?  I  know Labour lost in West Midlands (maybe Liam Byrne will get back in the Shadow Cabinet), I don't know where else.

That certainly suggests the Labour Party is becoming/has become the party of the major population areas while the Conservatives are the party of the smaller cities, towns and rural areas, with, I guess, the suburbs as the swing ridings.  How American (and Canadian.)

They - and their predecessor parties - have had the ability to do well with People Of Money since more or less the 1960s. It just hasn't always been constant - there's ebb and flow, as is the nature of such things.

Fiscally conservative socially liberal, I presume.  How American!

To answer my own question that I asked a while back, if it hasn't already been answered, according to Wikipedia there are 10 regional authority mayors in England and Labour hold 8 of them.  These 10 regional authorities combine to a population of around 22.5 million.
