If Street stands which I understand he can, I will cast a rare vote for the Conservatives, simply because it is ridiculous for the metro mayor, if we must have one, not to take on the role of Police Commisioner, if we must have one. Of course if Street were to lose the mayoral election and win the police one (far from impossible) the mess would be glorious. That would be by far the most amusing outcome for those two elections, given the history of the merger attempt.

I don't understand what you are saying. In South Yorkshire, the PCC served until this week (end of his natural term) and now the two roles are combined. They didn't vote mid-term when it was combined.

You are probably thinking about West Yorkshire. but Oliver wouldn't have been up this year if it wasn't for the PCC and Mayor role being combined

I understand now. I forgot about that. Probably because I also tend to forget there is a South Yorkshire mayor. Ok, so they can do that. I think they could wait until 2028 and combine them at that point.

Depends how cynical you wish to be about it and how much chance your expected the Tories to have of being competitive with a non-Street candidate. There is an argument that the best time for Labour to hold a combined election would be 2026, as that raises turnout in Birmingham - even with the debacle there this year we still netted votes out of there, and with higher turnout would have netted more.
