A thank you to Brexiteers.

Fave shop of remoaners and rich people
its a really shit shorthand you know, like for instance now i live in a Waitrise type place, massive Waitrose with a huge wine selection, and the place is full of old rich people who led to it being a leave constituency whilst where i lived before, brixton, no waitrose in sight and one of the biggest remoan places in the whole country.
 
It’s Peston so automatically not worth reading
would usually agree, thought his take on this moment was about right though.
Short version: The endless pathetic drama of warring factions of tories, the same thing that caused brexit in the first place, continues now to define how it goes.

Brixton voted remain but hardly anyone moans on about the result. That’s more the bourgeoisie that does that.
 
Hardworking, salt-of-the-earth Remain types tended to be Tesco shoppers, while Leave voters were more inclined to take their Range Rovers to Sainsbury's, according to this pre-referendum poll.

Where is Waitrose?
Down south, mostly.

Manchester voted remain, but there isn't a Waitrose in Manchester.

(ETA wasn't at the time, but there's a mini one in Piccadilly train station now, for the Londoners. A benefit of Brexit, I suppose.)

It wasn’t whether you ate avocados or not it was whether or not you owned your own home, home ownership & oldness, that was the strongest predictor of voting leave.
