Onward suggests Labour could regain 31 seats in the north, Midlands and north Wales
The north of England will be the principal battleground in the next general election, according to research that also concluded there is no evidence of a southern “blue wall” ready to fall.
The study by the Onward thinktank suggested that Labour could regain 31 seats in the north, Midlands and north Wales if 2019 Conservative voters switched back to their preferred party, but only three southern seats would change hands.
