Frames the white working class as politically abandoned and susceptible to racial demagoguery due to class erasure
Presents the white working class as victims of political neglect but frames their identity through a lens of racialisation and susceptibility to extremist narratives, reinforcing a patronising narrative that their grievances are misdirected.
“Because the language of class has been erased from our politics, the “white working class” only hear themselves being spoken about when Nigel Farage or Stephen Yaxley-Lennon tell them how the system has failed them.”
