TheGoddessFrig Yes, I've had that line parroted to me frequently. The irony, of course, is that - in the UK - class is gendered, and raced. The poorest household tend to be single parent households, headed by women. Austerity has impacted primarily on female caters. You can do some sleight of hand, saying these women aren't proles or properly working class because they're not paid for their labour but ...
This is all well-documented by groups such as CPAG.
It just makes it even more crazy that the dominant political Party, meant to represent the interests of those groups is, by and large, headed by men. Who, of course, can be trusted to speak and act on their behalf. 😡 As though all those women are just the ventriloquist's dummy, woodenly providing a facade for anything the chaps say.
It's an obscene reversal of what should be happening.
Which is why people get involved in Momentum, I guess; it promises change. Though I'll be honest, I think Momentum is owned by a man and has an over-representation if quite macho woke bros at the steering level.
And that, of course, brings us to the joy that is LM.
