I think there's probably a dynamic within a dynamic here.

Middlesborough isn't a city. It might sound pedantic, but I don't think it is. The core cities for the most part broke for Remain (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, even Leicester). Sheffield fell by just 5300, Birmingham by 3800, and Nottingham by 2000

These major urban areas didn't do too badly under the new Labour years. Many succeeded in attracting EU structure funds, and saw relatively successful economic development programmes and regeneration

It was the tier below the big cities; the towns of between 30,000 to 200,000 that struggled and who the government never really got round to funding. These, combined with rural areas were the ones who seem to have broken heavily for leave, and its this category that the likes of Middlesborough would fit into
