Weekend listen: Is the Red Wall a red herring?

Today's weekend listen comes courtesy of our sister podcast, Red Box.

While everyone else was waiting for Sue Gray, on Tuesday two of Britain's country's leading political scientists published a major new study. It busts a series of myths about the so-called 'Red Wall'. They spoke to Matt Chorley on the Times Red Box podcast, and we thought the discussion was so interesting that you'd like to hear it too.
