I don’t really understand the labours obsession with these leave votes from the north / midlands, I really think there reading it wrong. My feeling is that the vast majority of the leave voters in these area weren’t labour voters, they were Tory / UKIP and the other key demographic, the none voter (as far as general elections go). These people are never going to be won over to the labour side and not to put too finer point on it who cares. It’s the reverse in my area, the local Tory mp eat her UKIP baby (by being batshit mental brexit hard case) at the last election and increased her majority to 15,000 plus. Labour hoovered up the 45% remain voters in the area and then Lib Dem after being second for a number of elections lost there deposit.
