Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
Interesting analysis. Even more reason for Conservative supporters to want a deal

Boris Johnson’s ‘red wall’ facing blow from no-deal Brexit and Covid

Areas in the north of England and Midlands that backed Boris Johnson’s Conservatives at last year’s election are among areas of Britain with the highest share of jobs in sectors most at risk from the combined impact of a no-deal Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to a Financial Times analysis of data from the Office for National Statistics, 17 so-called “red wall” constituencies — traditional Labour voting seats such as Scunthorpe won by the Tories in the 2019 election — are in the top 20 per cent of areas with job markets most reliant on sectors severely at risk over the next two years.

Although the figures vary greatly across different neighbourhoods, the data underline how a no-deal Brexit could make it harder for Mr Johnson to deliver on his pledge to level up more deprived parts of the UK.
