Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Yeah, Starmer is right though...
By definition if you make all the money you need to live from investments like stocks, bonds, or leasing out homes then you aren't working class. If you work a regular job, but have some additional income from investment savings you are working class, but the Labour government isn't having to focus on those investments going up as much as making your working life more comfortable.
