Notes on the Pedestrianisation of Oxford Street mentioned yesterday. My photo quota is the delightfully inchoate-but-powerless fury in the Daily Mail about it.

Class politics is certainly far less of a dividing line than it was in say the 1950s. While the Tories still win ABs and Labour still win DEs, the divide is less strong with the LDs doing particularly well with ABs post Brexit where the Remain vote was strongest.

It depends where is meant by London. Central London is now unaffordable for most families, and even the cheaper bits have now been gentrified. However, for the last century it has been the case that, aside from the young and rich, even successful people would commute in to London from large houses in the Home Counties. -
