From a thread well worth reading. One might add that when Labour voters were drawn mostly from the manual working class, Labour… lost most of the time. Labour’s electoral coalition couldn’t win in 1955 and would be absolutely crushed in an electorate with the demographics of 2025.
Notice that everywhere except Southern Europe, the middle class have proven to be a much more important part of the left's coalition than the working class since the early 2000s. Labour strategists are pining for the early 1980s. Even then working class Brits today are cleaners not miners. 9/n

This is why I never fly the Irish budget airline, delayed flight yet they rack up about 10x £75 hand luggage check fees at the gate by squeezing the measurements 1cm. Priority though mandatory for overhead cabin luggage is pointless.

What is the point of the Oyster card readers when changing from the overground (windrush!) at either Whitechapel or Canada Water? Does it make a difference where you are coming from/going to?
