Also, things like the miminum wage have risen far more under Tories than Labour, which is an elephant in the room you should address. Labour, I would suggest have always been better on welfare. In terms of helping people into work, and retaining good jobs etc, that battleground is far more complex.
    I think what you meant James is that he gaslit them.

      Do you seriously think that your hero Johnson has never belittled, condescended or called the "working classes" stupid or thick?!

      Do some research James. Try his articles in the Spectator or Telegraph for starters.

        Johnson on the working class.

        In a 1995 Spectator article, Boris Johnson wrote that ”blue collar” men are likely to be drunk, criminal, aimless, feckless and hopeless.


        The irony of Johnson pontificating about unmarried mothers is hilarious.

        Who was belittling, condescending, telling them they were stupid or thick? No party would stand on such a platform, it’s just your opinion and mine is as worthwhile as yours. You always mention that about the minimum wage, yet the gap between richest and poor, the number of people in poverty and using food banks has risen in the last dozen years.
