Anyone else feel a sense of impending doom that we’ll have a Labour government tomorrow?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Shall I tell her?

I had somehow missed that so didn’t reply

We have a junior Dr in the family, their pay is appalling. I got paid more for working in a factory

Why has their pay slipped so much in recent years. If it has.

Not exactly doom but a feeling of embarrassment that flip flopping Starmer could be in charge and, even worse, will have the foul mouthed “gob on a stick” as she is frequently called, alongside him.

Imagine them representing our country with leaders from all nations and then they rock up! 🤮🤮
I will never forget that picture of the two of them taking the knee! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a vulgar comment
My mum would say ‘common’

No more ‘common’ than Raynor calling Tories ‘scum’
She is a complete embarrassment.

Johnson's "Fuck business". Was that OK with you? Or his constant lies in HoC.

What strange standards some have

Starmer represented us in France on D Day when Sunak embarrassingly left to do an election interview. I don’t think he looked out of place there. I kept thinking how embarrassed I would have felt if Johnson was representing us at that event. Or Truss after her comment about Macron ( something that I very much doubt Angela would have said).

Thats exactly what she says too.
Nurses do regular overtime which can pay almost as much as to double their wage, but junior doctors are earning about £14 per hour, by her reckoning.

My next door neighbour who works in a,hospital as management says that junior doctors are the people that really deserve to earn more.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I was an executive officer in the civil service at 19, but I wouldnt have changed class.

It was just a cushy job.

Neither do I feel "less than" for washing bums as my job role.

I just fancied doing it (not the bums part, actually) and found I was quite good at it, and it fulfilled some sort of sense of doing a little bit of good.

Maddyone - are you a doctor or ever worked in the NHS because unless you can answer yes to either you do not know the true facts about drs pay.

🤣🤣🤣

Anyone who can speak of Angela Rayner as a ‘gob on a stick’ is an example of ‘a gob on a stick ‘ ?

I wonder if you ever change class. I subscribe to the theory that you don’t. No matter how many trappings of a middle class lifestyle I have (education, cultural capital, career, and so on), I sm working class. My children, however, are not.

same, even my own family think my kids are posh

^AR is working class^

No. She was working class. Now she’s middle class.

Apart from Prescott who is a Lord!

I think class is about a whole lot more than money or property.
Money can't buy it.

I wasn’t referring to Angela as common

It was nothing to do with the Windrush scandal, it was a reaction to the murder of George Floyd in the USA.

I know what the precipitating event was of course.

What then happened in the US and UK was the Black Lives Matter Movement driven by the many factors I've mentioned above and some I haven't, like racism in football. And yes, Windrush was alluded to in Black Lives Matter, I know, I was involved locally. (as far as one could be, in Covid).

Many of the shadow cabinet are from working class backgrounds. Thankfully.

Professor Sam Friedman of the LSE has calculated it at 46% (compared to 7% for Sunak’s) and I haven’t seen any scholars - or politicians - disputing that.

I've just voted too Fleur, it was quite busy

I wish people wouldn't call people common, it's degrading. We cannot help where we are born or who we are born to. Our background gives us a unique identity and nobody should be ashamed of who they are and where they come from. The Labour party was originally set up to give working class people more representation in parliament, AR is working class.

Yes it was Callistemon.

Yes, but we surely are past a time of lumping everyone together.

There are always riots when there are protesters, but everyone is an individual.
