They don't use 'working class' any more; it is always 'working people' so if you don't work you are not entitled to all the benefits AI is going to deliver.
I have never been much impressed by Labour generally, but I am genuinely surprised at how inept this present group is. The Conservatives destroyed themselves by infighting, and rash promises which they were unable to keep, not entirely all their fault, Stuff Happens, which Labour is now experiencing.
The landslide which has given Labour so much power is the result of tactical voting; anything to keep Conservatives out which resulted in the loss of some good MPs, and and some inadequate replacements. Plus an increasingly difficult world situation.
Also, a Prime Minister dedicated to attacking anything he considers smacks of privilege, unless of course it is freebies for himself, his wife and his children.
