Who speaks “chavvy”? Comparing accent and class prejudice in England and The Netherlands

Taxation has turned out to be the main issue dividing the two candidates in the current Conservative Party leadership contest. While Rishi Sunak wants to hold off making tax cuts until after the cost of living crisis has been tackled, Liz Truss wants immediate reductions. She believes cutting taxes will not cause further rises in inflation for consumers. Article by Professor Paul Whiteley
