I think that's true at a local level (which is why I think Labour won't do too badly at the locals) but in terms of the big picture stories we tell ourselves about who we are and our place in the world, I genuinely can't see a thread which will unite a socially conservative home-owning rural aging population with a socially liberal renting young population. Their interests seem - to me - to be to be diametrically opposed.

Massively disagree with this. The people of London and the the people of the Hartlepool* have the same basic needs, wants, feelings, frustrations, etc..
An effective leader will find the thread that unites them, not that which divides them.
