Originally from the North East himself, Payne set out to uncover the story of the red wall and issues that turned the seats blue. While Brexit and the unpopularity of opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn are factors, there is a more nuanced story explored in 'Broken Heartlands' of how these northern communities have fared through generational shifts, struggling public services, deindustrialization, and the changing nature of work.
