Starmer's vision quest

I does, and if you have stats then that's fine, but a blind assumption based on location is not.

I accept you do not just take my word for it, to save me searching out the "wrong" stats, what would you accept/ eg

- proportion of school leavers (16yo) who enter further education
- number of GCSE per pupil at grade C (now 7, in the new grading system, I believe)
- proportion of population with degree (or higher)

any thing else?

I'm not that fussed. Your original post came across as a lazy stereotype, much like Essex.
Maybe the stats bear out the original post but my original post began with If.

Since I was born in the area, (which I did mention) and, am a product of the area, having been educated here, I suppose I "stereotyped" myself then. Not to mention it was not me who raised the subject of educational levels:

"South Shields is a traditionally safe Labour seat, but demographically has an aging population and scores high on the deprivation. We know that Reform do well with the elderly and with the poorly educated - presumably as they are most likely to believe the tosh that comes out of Reform's propaganda."
