Labour must fight off these bogus Tory attacks on class. It is a glorious tradition on the left that people with money join the fight against inequality.Whoever could she mean ?

Interestingly they do have comments on the article, which seem to be 90% against Toynbee. What fun!

'Defend the NHS'
- of course I do...
Actually means
'5p on taxes to pay for the NHS'
- hang on a min, you didn't say that...
Does she have any concept what a prat she seems?
