I’ve got a 5k cooker and guess who I didn’t vote for!Been thinking the same thing - though I shouldn't be surprised given her lifestyle (pretty sure her kitchen reno included a £5k cooker!)
Good for youI’m not an influencer — but happy to “out” myself. I’ve voted in seven (I think?) general elections now and have voted Conservative in five of them.
I can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not. My point is that this portrayal of all Conservatives voters fitting in a particular box drives me mad. My husband and I employ 40 people full-time. We pay corporation tax/PAYE/National Insurance. We both volunteer and we certainly care about other people.Good for you
Difference is that you are happy to share that. I don’t agree with your political stance but I respect that you own your choices and decisionsI can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not.

I agree with your point re the hard selling, there is a Strategy behind every single one of their carefully curated posts. To me they (Mumfluencers etc) all seem to be Labour supporters. I have unfollowed quite a few who basically said “all Tories are inherently bad”. They obviously mean me... therefore I won’t follow them or buy their products!Difference is that you are happy to share that.

I struggle with the instamums who are shameless is sharing intimate details of their lives, including their children and yet seem coy about their political choices.
The reality is is that there is a perception of the type of person who votes Tory. I suspect that the instamums choose to hide their choice as they know it could impact on their sales.
Its a good reminder that everything they post is driven by selling you stuff. They don’t share stuff out of the goodness of their (likely Tory) hearts
That’s a really sad choice to make. To be so intolerant of other people’s views must be exhausting!I actually can't cope with Farrah Kathleen (formerly somethingrosier) anymore! Every single story is about how much she hates Tories & how if you're Tory you're scum. She's even saying she's cut off family & friends if they didn't vote Labour. She's becoming very nasty & bitter. Not that she was much better before the election! It's just constant!
I didn't vote Tory but I don't judge anyone who did. I have close friends who did. To shame your friends & family because of a difference of political opinion is ridiculous! A vote is a vote. You choose who you feel, personally, is the right one for the job. Many people will disagree with me voting Labour but tough luck reallyWhat baffles me with these people is their apparent lack of understanding as to why people in northern, ex mining towns, just like the one I was born and bred and still live in can vote Tory! These people swan around London without the tiniest idea of what is going on in villages like ours, how we’re forgotten and have been forgotten for decades - we’ve been ignored since before thatcher, before Blair, during Blair and ever since. The North voted for a change, whether rightly or wrongly it’s voice was heard loud and clear for once. It wanted change. So, people like Farrah can stick her opinions as far up her ‘never left the south’ hole as she can get it and duck off. I will be told by no-one who to use my vote to support.
‘Tory starter pack’ is very apt. Suspect they are more than entry level Tories though - you’ve got hunter wellies and floral arrangement workshops as standard. Pretty sure they are experienced Tory’sGlad someone mentioned Elle from Feathering the Empty Nest. The ABSOLUTE vacuous privilege on those stories. Her dad does the exit polls too so politics is a big thing in her family. She just didn’t like reading the many labour supporters saying tories are heartless and uncaring. If she’d voted labour it wouldn’t bother her.
Her and Carol with their posh SUVs and Boden uniform, might as well be the Tory starter pack
it really frustrates me when these influencers think we are thick.Absolutely not a doubt in my mind. I'm sure her dad is a former Conservative local councillor
