Dr Andrew Mycock, a politics lecturer at the University of Huddersfield, said: “It is clear that Brexit is the main issue and that’s going to influence how people vote.

Subject

Dr Mycock believes Labour needs to demonstrate what they’re about instead of pushing the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, while the Conservatives need to persuade people who wouldn’t normally vote Tory, such as those in Labour heartlands but who may have voted to Leave the EU, to vote for them now.
