So what if you work and you’re a person? In what way is that a qualification?
Now, that is the real question for all of us. Keir Starmer’s Labour party has come up with this new form of chosen people. These are the elect, the good guys, the ones to whom no harm must be seen to be done . They are the working people of Britain and the good news is that the Labour government is here for them. But come off it. Are you really one of the chosen? Sitting there with your croissant and Nespresso, maybe eating an avo on toast while you listen to The Rest Is Politics.
Starmer’s two primary definitions for what constitutes a working person are that your income comes entirely from your earnings and that you do not have enough in savings to be able to “write a cheque” when some unexpected bill comes in . The point is clear. No significant savings, no “unearned income”. Working people need to be clinging on by their fingernails. In other words, if your washing machine breaks, it must be a problem for you to replace it.
