Sir Keir Starmer has won voters’ hearts back in the Red Wall, a new poll suggests, while a majority doubt Boris Johnson will be Prime Minister this time next year.
The Deltapoll survey of the 57 constituencies the Tories gained in the 2019 General Election, most of which could be considered part of the Red Wall, found that 38% of voters agreed Sir Keir would make the best PM, while 33% backed Mr Johnson.
The poll, for the Mail on Sunday (MoS), also put Labour in the lead when it came to the voting intention in those seats (49% vs 33%).
Meanwhile, it suggested Labour was ahead by five points nationwide (40% vs 35%).
The newspaper said if the results were repeated in a General Election it could cost the Conservatives more than 100 seats.

Total stretch to say Sir Keith is winning them back - it's Johnson who's doing all of the work for him and driving them away. The plotting in the corridors of the Houses of Parliament must be thick in the air already...
