In their fine tradition of radical thought and action, the Liberal Democrats have elected as leader, a middle class white male privately educated Oxford graduate, with a degree in PPE, who's also a knight of the realm ......

Strangely enough, the leaders of the Conservative and Labour parties are middle class white male privately educated Oxford graduates, the only standout being our revered Prime Minister, who is not, as yet, a knight of the realm !

Just to note, Keir Starmer is far from a toff. Solid upbringing, mum was a nurse and dad was a toolmaker. Good jobs, but hardly born with a silver spoon. Got into a Grammar School on merit (passed 11 plus), which became a private school later, after he’d got in. Did his degree in Leeds, postgrad at Oxford.

Nothing wrong with being clever and achieving.

Don't let the facts get in the way Notts

Next you will tell us they all pee in the same pot?

I also think they once lived in a council house, the upper-class git.

Anyone who wasn't brought up in a 2 up 2 down terraced house with an outside "long-drop" toilet is an over-privileged posh b@stard as far as I'm concerned

Also, anyone who owned a pair of shoes.

I thought the LibDems all wore sandals.
