Do Reform leaders misunderstand working class values and experience?

To think that Reform leaders being all privately educated, and men, have a problem with working class, especially working class women, and keep getting it wrong?
Working class people have pride, we have- literally- class. The houses working class families bought have sometimes appreciated as the areas changed. Sometimes people move and rent property out. These,are all ways working class people made the best of a very modest income. With hard work and wise decisions.
They were responsible people because they had to be.
There were many pitfalls. Addiction , extremism. These things affect the more wealthy but the money cushions it. Working class people know - we can't lead whilst sitting in a pitfall. Self discipline was paramount. Those who came through sometimes became very strong. The proverbial working class hero was yes often a male image- but was not all over the internet trying to shame women.

Absolutely not defending Reform in any way, but Reform Chairman Lee Anderson is working class and was educated at a comprehensive school.

His mum was a factory worker, his dad a miner and Lee worked as a miner himself for a decade. He's also worked in the Citizens Advice Bureau and with homeless care leavers.

As politicians go surely he knows more than most about the working class.
