wow Rayner & this rag are really sinking to a new low. Shaun is from a one parent family. His grandfather was part of the the Windrush Generation. So yes this man understands the so called 'working class' because he lived it!

Here we go again, more socialist rubbish

He does sound something of a prick, doesn't he.... In the Party mould...... He'll probably do well...

The left feel threatened by BAME Tory's

Yawn. More identity politics from a party that no longer supports it major supporters historically. What have labour done about it? They have been winning elections since 1915 and they've changed nothing.

He’s a Tory 🤷🏽‍♀️

The virtual world has created a pretty good platform for democratic governing everyone getting involved and figure out a way to be led left right green etc

What a surprise, said no one

Nothing will ever change

But thats what they do. Its like saying 'striker accused of trying or score goals.'

By Labour opponents?

How any person from a black or Asian background can be a Tory beggars belief!

The guardian attacking his comments on the working classes, is like Hugh Hefner telling the sun page 3 should be banned. The working classes don't need the insincere guardian to be a cheerleader for them. At least the tories upfront with their hatred.

It’s this absolutely embedded mindset of disdain amongst most Cons party members that leads to foolish decisions such as having a 3rd party deliver school meals (at great expense) rather than issue vouchers direct to beneficiary. It’s a fundamental belief system.

Dent Coad quoted former neighbours describing Bailey as a 'free-loading scumbag' and 'the most hated man in North Kensington'. Lolz.

He’s a Tory what do you expect 🤣

Does the guardian know poor people? A lot buy coke and iPhones.

Like every Tories' he is a big sausage

The attacks on working class families is something uklabour is well pursuant in. sadiqkhan inc council tax to 9.5%, financial hit in the pocket. His pledge of building more social housing, just words, while Brits are in long term emergency accommodation in Labour London suffer.

newsflash

Looking forward to Khan thumping this clown at the ballot box. Hopefully that's the last we have to hear from him.

“I don’t think the £5,000 will [be a problem]. The mortgage application thing might be a bit tougher … they could save for it, yeah' Typical Tory mindset
