There's a stereotypical view in Westminster of people who live in the Red Wall as being somehow unique, but how far is it accurate?

@PME_Politics shows that on most issues the views of Red Wall residents are the same as the population as a whole

Across a clutch of social issues, people in Red Wall constituencies think the same way as the rest of the British public - and, contrary to some claims, they are more socially liberal than socially conservative

Red Wall residents are, however, somewhat more pro-Brexit than the nation as a whole - but like all Britons, they are very split on how well Brexit is being handled

Red Wall residents tend to have a less negative view of the Tories than the wider public, but their views of Labour/Keir Starmer are the same.

Counter to The Narrative, Red Wall residents think Labour respect people in their area more than the Tories
