The question put to the British people on the 8th June is:

For Chancellor, choose between:
- a PPE Oxford University graduate or,
- a BSc in Government and Politics from Brunel University

There are no other parties in this race for governance. So as snobbish as you sound (and lol, economics isn't exactly hardcore itself), the people essentially have this binary choice.

If it's all the same to you, I'll take PPE over MaoDonnell and his little red book.

All this stuff about growth. Is the man on the street really seeing the effects of this.

More people employed than ever before. That may be so, lots down to more self employed, loads due to zero hours contracts (I know it suits some people). But no one ever mentions (when talking employment figures) that there is a bigger population, hence the increase in people working.

On what authority do you say that?

What have I said that has lead you to think I'm snobbish?

I've not resorted to name calling at least!

Multi millionaire playboy by day, the scourge of evil by night.

You always call me a champagne socialist but it is not wrong to earn a lot of money, have a social conscience, and see past skin colour, religion or nationality, ask Bill Gates and similar.

*edit* not that I am worth that much, I wish.

PS. I married a black woman. Did you? If I couldn't see past skin colour, how could I sleep with the woman I love every night? Please do tell me, Peffers.
