Labour and the Conservatives have been drawn more or less level in the polls for some time now, and Labour seem incapable of pulling firmly ahead - despite the government's endless buggering up of things. Why? I've got a theory, and I'm going to use my father as the example... My father has voted Labour in the past. He's a working class man from a working class family. He lives in a council house. He's worked all his life, but lost his job after Covid hit, and was furious to discover he couldn't get a damn thing from Universal Credit.
