The sheer amount of working class Tories is absolutely staggering.

We are seeing the result of letting all those Poundland hitlers like Yaxley-Lennon, Hopkins, Farage and co. go too long unchecked whilst they cosied up and campaigned to the disenfranchised people in these long dead satellite towns.

These places that were long time Labour or Lib Dem constituencies owed mostly to their treatment by the Conservative governments of the 80’s and early 90’s. Closing down the mines, factories, dock lands etc.thus crippling the economy of these places (especially some of the small Yorkshire towns)

Somehow the rise of right wing divs pretending to be allies of the working class, have convinced many in these places that the reason their job opportunities are limited and local businesses are struggling is because of immigration, Muslims and the EU and not decades of the Tories strangling these places into a managed decline.

Like the pits are going to magically reopen if we leave Europe...

The irony is, it’s the people in these small towns who will be hit worst by another 5 years of Johnson and co.

Turkeys voting for Christmas... at Christmas...:(
Geese voting for Christmas - they'll be goosed
 
Tories win a Northumberland mining seat after nearly 70 years labour. :eek: :oops::bye:

The next 5 years will be interesting in Confucian terms for a lot of working class Britons.

Best of luck!
 
Barrow-in-Furness (my town) turned Tory for first time in 27 years.

Considering its biggest employer builds nuclear submarines I’m not at all surprised. Corbyn was toxic outside of his metropolitan bubble. For Bolsover and the like to go Conservative is incredible, nothing seen like it since Maggie Thatcher, it just goes to show that taking your supporters for granted while shafting them really doesn’t work.....
 
Far from turning over a new, more moderate leaf, the Johnson government's first two days do not bode well. What a complete arse.
There's always a tweet.
