    The constant dismissal of London as middle class/young ignores so many factors, because class is treated entirely reductively in political media and polling. Firstly, London has some of the highest poverty and inequality, (YES, including Islington)

        Secondly, huge numbers of people under 35 live in London because there’s barely anywhere else to attempt to find a career. This section in @Alex_Niven’s book is great on thathttps://twitter.com/DawnHFoster/status/1188131908913373190 …

        Post-crash that was made worse (I graduated in 2010), but even beforehand, young people felt they had no choice but to leave postindustrial areas. The only jobs above minimum wage in many places were call centres, which then got outsourced.

        And loads of people I know were told they didn’t have experience for minimum wage work, but couldn’t get experience without the work they were turned down for.

        The majority of jobs created post-crash were south of the Watford Gap for years. That left parents angry that their kids felt they had no choice but to leave.

        And when people I know from Lincolshire, South Wales & Yorkshire speak to family, they attribute them leaving to people from Eastern Europe “stealing their kids’ jobs” even though eg my friends point out they work for a charity, they weren’t planning to be a seasonal tulip picker

        And that narrative is easier to both sell and absorb than one about deindustrialisation and the abandonment of regional economies for decades by both parties.

        I have seen so many old Labour really attack young labour voters for alienating the older working class. It's so hurtful. Not too long ago they complained that we weren't interested in politics, and now that we are? We're told to F off again.

        I am old Labour, in that I am in my 50s, and come from a working class background. Thank you for being engaged in politics as a young person, it is your future and you should have a say in it. Keep caring, keep campaigning and keep voting and your generation will be better for it

        Queer and disabled people tend to make their way to cities wherever they can too because that’s the easiest way for us to find a community that’ll help us survive. We’re mostly all poor as shit too.

        So true, my queer friends will never live outside of a big city. I’m also reconsidering my plan to move out of London... it’s all a bit too gammon outside of the big smoke, with a few exceptional exceptions.
