I've known @IanAustin1965 a long time - sparring when he ran press for Scottish Lab in first Holyrood elections. Was G Brown's press adviser. He's a Labour man through and through. Today on patriotic grounds he is telling voters in the seat he loves to vote for Boris. Incredible.
The people are the country. The Tories consistently damage the many in favour of the few. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. The gap between widens. Brexit will make this worse. Supporting a Tory government is the opposite of patriotic.
