Throughout our history, the Tories have been shape-shifters, adapting and evolving in order to survive and to thrive.

It's about which has made them the most successful electoral force in the Western world.

But if there's one consistent thread which runs through the entire history of the Conservative Party is this,

that they are class warriors, that they are champions for the privileged interests who fund them

and who they exist to champion and to represent.

Following the Covid-19 crisis, in which one of the most catastrophic handling of the pandemic on

Earth led to one of the worst death tolls and one of the worst economic consequences on the face of

the planet, the Tory response was completely consistent with that history. On the one hand,

those nurses who Tory ministers applauded from their doorsteps last year,

they're getting a real-terms pay cut whilst the universal credit is being slashed driving

hundreds of thousands of already struggling families into poverty.

As British billionaires' wealth soared during the pandemic, British workers are set to have

lower wages in real terms in 2026 than before the financial crash hit back in 2008,

protecting the wealth and power of those at the top at the expense of the rest of society

is exactly what the Conservatives have always existed to do.

Now, class warfare is traditionally an accusation levied by the Tories against those who seek

to more fairly redistribute the wealth created by the hard graph of millions of people.

After six years of the post-war Labour Government, which established the National Health Service

and the welfare state, the 1951 Conservative Manifesto declared,

of all impediments, the class war is the worst, accusing Labour of hoping to gain another

lease of power by fermenting class hatred and appealing to moods of greed and envy.
