University graduates? Young people? Those are the people that typically live in cities and vote Labour.

Why do I get the feeling you're hinting at something else...

My favourite take so far from the Corbyn left on the election/class/Labour

The fact she worked for one of the big four accountancy firms makes this even better

If you have to work in order to live, you’re working class, it’s that simple. Anything else is irrelevant.

Great definition,

Love to hear what middle class is then as I'm worried I might be working class now

There is no middle class.

Only working class and non-working class. Sorry to break it to you but you’re a scumbag like the majority on here.

Except those of us who worked for the Big 4 and who have gone on to campaign for a classless society built on mutual cooperation.

There is simply no way this is going to work out the way Sir Kier thinks it will.

How do the lefites feel about Andy Burnham?

Seems to be the candidate the left are coalescing on with ex-Corbynites looking to coup if they lose Batley & Spen

Would be rather amusing given he was considered a centrist in 2015 when I voted for him as leader.
