41:31Now PlayingThe 2019 election saw the collapse of the “red wall” – northern seats formerly held by the Labour Party that were then won by Boris Johnson’s Conservatives - but after losing the by elections in Tiverton and Honiton and Wakefield, could these Tory gains soon be switching back to Labour?

Rachel Wearmouth, senior political correspondent for the Daily Mirror hosts a panel on the "red wall" and what both parties need to do to win the red ball at the next general election.
The panel features:
Lou Haigh, the Labour MP for Sheffield Heeley and Shadow Secretary of State for Transport, who ran the recently successful Labour campaign in the Wakefield by-election.
Antony Higginbotham, the Tory MP for Burnley, a traditionally Labour seat that switched to the Conservatives in 2019, for the first time since 1910.
Sebastian Payne, the Whitehall editor for the Financial Times, whose recent book entitled: Broken Heartlands: A Journey Through Labour's Lost England is dedicated to the red wall.
