Is Gary Neville actually a Tory?

If you judge a man on what he does and not just what he says, then it seems obvious multimillionaire Labour activist Gary Neville is in reality a Tory.

‘I’m not a socialist, I’m a capitalist,’ the former Manchester United defender turned Sky Sports commentator and plutocrat businessman told the world on Instagram this week. ‘I believe in entrepreneurialism. I believe in companies making profit. I believe in lower taxes. And I also believe that distribution of profit should be spread amongst us.’

It goes without saying, these are sentiments with which Margaret Thatcher herself would have nodded in ecstatic assent – particularly when uttered from the lips of a working-class boy done good from the north of England.

Last year, Gary, who voted for Jeremy Corbyn at the 2019 election and at the start of this year officially joined the Labour party, told the Times: ‘I believe in private education. I was state-educated, but my two children now go to private school… Yes, I travel first class on the train.
