Luke Raikes examines the challenge facing the Labour Party in the next election by painting a statistical picture of the 150 seats where the party came closest to winning in the last election. He argues that Labour must look far beyond the ‘Red Wall’ and instead focus on towns, as well as win back support in Scotland with a strong offer that combines devolution and unionism.
