Would be very interesting to see a poll question asking Red Wall voters if they are prepared to vote for a Starmer run Labour party at th next GE.I have a feeling the answer would not be to Keiths liking.

That was precisely what I posted in the OP. The poll has Labour 15% ahead.
Obviously not very interesting for some others then!
BST, To suggest that the 80 seat majority thrashing that Labour got, would have been even worse if they hadn't pushed for a second Ref, is absolutely ludicrous, and I don't care what stats you come up with.Utter and total b*ll*cks.

Clearly the Red Wall is going to be crucial in the next election. Labour hasn't got a prayer of being the biggest party in 2024 unless it can recover in those seats. So how is it going?The vote share in the Red Wall seats, averaged out was Con 47Lab 39That was a massive shift from 2017 when it wasLab 50Con 42Here's the latest polling data.https://mobile.twitter.com/electpoliticsuk/status/1557037175010631680Lab 48Con 33.If that remains (and it's a big IF if course) Labour will sweep the board of those seats in 2024.Those on the Left who instinctively criticise Labour would do well to remember this. If Labour doesn't get into power, you can have all the policies and all the principles and all the ideology you want. But you'll have a Govt headed by Liz Truss.Your call.
