Labour voters are mostly remain, the press zoomed in on Left Labour voters (which do exist) but forgot to mention that in those areas the voters for other parties swung it.

A lot of those voters would potentially vote Labour though. They'll have gone from Blair's Labour to UKIP to Brexit Party and although some may hold their nose and vote Conservative to get Brexit through a lot still wouldn't and would vote Labour if not for Corbyn.

They weren't viewed as Labour voters though becuase they voted for UKIP in 2015 (who received more votes than the SNP & Lib Dems put together).

Not per recent Ashcroft's / yougov exit polls, very few have swung to Brexit party.

Per Gina miller research all but two of those areas have swung to remain.

As I said, I'm looking further back than the last few elections so that wouldn't show in the Ashcroft polls.
