Theresa May’s new cabinet is less public school dominated and the last four Labour byelections have been won by people from ordinary backgrounds
It’s good to read that Theresa May’s new cabinet is less public school dominated than David Cameron’s, less so than any since the Attlee team elected in 1945 by some accounts. More diverse in terms of gender and ethnicity too, more representative of modern Britain.
Excellent. But does that make it less “elitist”? I doubt it. On the Labour left and the Brexit right “elitist” is a term of abuse easily hurled at anyone who sounds a bit like one of Michael Gove’s “experts”, saying something that fact-averse people don’t like.
