@footbetdotnet The claim over women's rights is due to the fact that the Labour Party was the only Political Party to publicly support womens' suffrage as a manifesto promise. They stood alongside suffrage societies. And plus, the first woman minister was appointed under Ramsay MacDonald's Labour Government.
@brett18uk Sure, but it's a mistake to think working class == Labour Party. Communists and anarchists were also involved in the battle of Cable Street, and the Tories do have some support in working class communities.
I'm curious about the claim over women's rights. The Representation of the People Act 1918 was under a Liberal/Conservative coalition. The Primrose League (1883) was a Conservative group and the first to bring women into the political movement and the first women MP to take up her seat was a Conservative (Nancy Astor) and the fifth Reform Act (1928) that lowered the age of women voters to 21 was under a Conservative government. At least you didn't claim to have won the 1966 World Cup this time.
They were referring to the defeat of the rise of Fascism within British society, which is associated with working class, Labour people in the East of London fighting back against the black shirts.

In a national government with Labour. Though I think they were a bit self-righteously referring to Britain as "we" at that point.
