Listening to the rich pretending to be " working people" is kinda sad.

‘I work 50 hours a week as a landlord – it’s an insult to say we aren’t working people’

Says one rentier who "...left his job as a financial adviser in 2020 to create a portfolio of 60 properties, which he manages full-time.

The 47-year-old said: “I’m a normal guy from the North-West... "

So there you are: normal working people in the South West of England own sixty properties...

That's about £18 million minimum.I'm sure every millionaire /billionaire in the UK could claim to be one of those "working people" on similar grounds.

Definitions eh?

Are they using the Marxist definition of worker? ;O)....nm

Because we are all in this together...and besides working "class" might allow the inclusion of the unemployed which Reeves says Labour don't represent.

Re: "Class" is banned...

Reeves has lots of class, all of it bad.

To be quite honest, I can see a time rapidly approaching when discussion of class is defined as 'hate speech'...
