Conversations about the 'left-behind white working class' have made a return to the political scene in recent weeks. Below is a thread about Runnymede's recent work in this area and how pitting 'race' and class against one another serves nobody well /1
It is worth noting that this is not a race row and pitting children from different ethnic backgrounds against each other is highly damaging with regards to social cohesion, it ignores the large achievement gap among White British children from different socio-economic backgrounds
The current conception of the working class in the public debate is often based on a mixture of misinformation and mythology, fails to recognise working-class voices and agency, increases division across racial lines, and is divorced from the lived realities /2
