It is one MPs opinion. The Mail describes him as a prominant MP, but sadly, I have never heard of him. Though I do think there is some truth in the claim. The Westminster Elite is out of touch with working people. But the problem is in all the Parties, not just Labour.
You will never believe this Svekj, up North we have Telephones, TVs, Car's, even roads with Tarmac that was laid with workers wearing Flat Caps, now beat that, lol
If such an opinion does exist within the upper echelons of the Labour Party, perhaps there is something in it. The people of the north are renowned for voting Labour.
I personally have heard very educated professors speaking in Durham Uni with local accents but they enunciate words and use educated language. Anyone can sound thick in speech or on paper. For me anyone saying things like 'we was' or 'she were' immediately gets put in the thick uneducated category regardless of accent.
