Let’s compare Tory MP’s with Labour MP’s and with the general population that they are meant to serve.
| Number or % of | Tory MP’s (of 362) | Labour MP’s (of 199) | UK Population |
| Women | 87 = 24% | 103 = 52% | 50.6% |
| Ethnic Minority | 22 = 6% | 41 = 21% | 14% |
| Privately Educated | 45% (Cabinet = 60%) | 15% | 7% |
| Went to Oxford or Cambridge | 86 = 24% (Cabinet = 46%) | 34 = 17% | Less than 1% |
So, 94% of Tory MPs are white and 76% are male. They are highly likely to be privately educated (which usually means coming from a wealthy/privileged background). In fact, Tory MPs are as likely to be educated at Oxbridge as they are to be women!
Unsurprisingly, Johnson has been accused of having a ‘Cabinet of Millionaires’ and, shockingly, it was revealed that one-third of UK billionaires donate to the Tory Party!
They are a Party OF the 1%, supported BY the 1% and acting FOR the 1%!
So yeah, these Tory MPs all look the same to me.
But I tell who they don’t look like: the British public.
They don’t represent us; they rule over us on behalf of their mega-rich donors, including the tax exile billionaires who own most of our media!
