Labour's red wall blues, with Peter Kellner

Quiet Riot

In the July election, a victorious Labour saw its red wall support slump to the lowest level in at least 40 years.

Polling guru Peter Kellner joins Naomi Smith to discuss why, and to dive into his critique of Labour's 'red wall Brexit fallacy'.

He also explains why Labour desperately needs to get on the front foot when it comes to relations with Europe, and poses the question: does Rachel Reeves have the courage to do something popular?

As if that's not enough, there's insight on the farming row, Trump and immigration. Buckle up!
