Broken Heartlands A Journey Through Labour's Lost England by Sebastian Payne

From award-winning Financial Times journalist Sebastian Payne comes a political road trip through ten constituencies that formed part of Labour's 'red wall.' These places backed Brexit and dramatically turned Conservative for the first time in living memory during the 2019 election, redrawing the electoral map in the process.
