chrisp65 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Apparently it was about a minute after Starmer had said her mother was there in attendance. You would have to be a pretty grim individual to vote for more of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I love moments like this when we get to peek behind the curtain. Perhaps it's not so much that the politicians have forgotten to pretend to not mock the proles, just that we're seeing unfiltered how much they really care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially spurious anecdotal evidence warning for sure, but I don't know any Tory voters who won't agree with him or stand up for him saying it. Partly through the ingrained tribalism, but mostly because they share the fear and hatred of the transgender community. I'm obviously of a mind to abhore labels like 'typical tory voter' because they are ultimately changeable and undefinable, but if my limited cross section of the elderly and white van man in the building trade isn't an example of their core base then I'd be interested in finding out who is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
