Looking at the last few elections his views maybe right

I read somewhere that the Tory party now attract as many working class voters , perhaps that was borne out by the so called collapse of the Northern Red Wall, and losing Scotland another working class stronghold ,it appears lost to them ??

Perhaps their tactics have been badly thought through over the years , or has their in-fighting since Blair consumed and destroyed them , who knows , all I do know, something went wrong 🤔
People of a working class background can have Conservative values and people who are very wealthy and privately schooled can have socialist values .

Labour have portrayed themselves as the party of the working man but some of the people I know , but are not an associate of , are working class, vote Labour and are racist and far more racist than Conservative people I know . I think the labour party are done and the centre and left of British politics need to unite and form a new party as this country is lurching to the right and it will only get worse .

The fella from the fire brigades Union is anti European so clearly Mr Washington agrees with him although I hope he doesn't agree with his views on sexuality
