Election strategists cannot resist constructing an archetype that their party needs to win over. For Tony Blair it was Mondeo Man, for Boris Johnson it was Waitrose Woman, David Cameron had Worcester Woman and Margaret Thatcher had Essex Man. And by cross-referencing those voter concerns with geographical areas, they can decide where to concentrate resources by identifying constituencies that will become swing seats in 2024 and deprioritising safe seats or lost causes. The lyrics are occasionally gritty, influenced On Parachute he sings how a dysfunctional parachute is sending him crashing into the ocean, where he will drown his emotions.

The Brexit Party polled more than 3,000 votes and came third that year; if its successor could persuade just 2 per cent of Tory voters to switch to Reform it would be enough, based on the 2019 result, to allow Labour through the middle. Viewers of the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony in Birmingham earlier this month would have seen 31-year-old Jacob Banks sing as the flag was ceremonially lowered towards the end of the jamboree. Wedged between upbeat sets by the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Goldie, Banks’s performance was notable for its quiet grace. It was carried by his remarkable voice that can veer between the sweet soul of Sam Cooke and the rich, theatrical upper register of Benjamin Clementine. It’s a voice that dance music fans may know from his appearance on Chase & Status’s single Alive in 2013. And it’s a voice that is showcased to fantastic effect on Banks’s second album, Lies About The War.

If Sunak proves that he can walk the walk as well as talk the talk on immigration, he could secure up to 1.9 million votes among people for whom immigration is top of their list of election issues. That’s why both sides will be fighting so hard to win over the four categories of undecided voters identified here. If Sunak could win all of them over, which this month’s Cabinet reshuffle and Autumn Statement tax cut were designed to help achieve, he would have 17.5 million votes. Altogether, the six groups detailed here account for 32.2 million voters, which would represent a typical general election turnout from an electorate of 46.5 million.
