Red Wallers

Big name: Jake Berry

Largely overlapping with the Northern Research Group, led by party chairman Jake Berry, Tory MPS in former Red Wall seats are among the most jittery about the prospect of a Labour landslide.

They will be among the toughest to convince that Ms Truss’s proposals to increase benefits in line with wages rather than inflation are the right way forward. Like the Sunakites, some might decide to abstain from key votes, or even oppose them, in order to appease their electorates, in the hope that they might be able to cling onto their seats at the next election.
