Working-class voters have flexed their political muscles and helped to change the direction of the country, but in doing so they have been met with disdain and even abuse from elites in politics, culture and business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt election time, we hear a lot about 'levelling up the Red Wall'. But what can actually be done to meet the very real concerns of the 'left behind' in the UK's post-industrial towns? In these once vibrant hubs of progress, working-class voters now face the prospect of being minimised, marginalised and abandoned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this new updated edition of his rousing polemic, David Skelton explores the roots and reality of this new snobbery, calling for an end to the divisive culture war and the creation of a new politics of the common good, empowering workers, remaking the economy and placing communities centre stage. Above all, he argues that we now have a once-in-a-century opportunity to bring about permanent change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Guisborough Bookshop Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51237032427856,"sku":"9781785908262","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/4988\/2448\/files\/9781785908262_29c0a6e1-8801-45d4-aa4a-45490f7b30f2.jpg?v=1765991868","url":"https:\/\/guisboroughbookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781785908262","provider":"guisboroughbookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
