Quote by Michael Gove
The current leadership of the Labor party react to the idea that working-class students might study the subjects they studied with the same horror that the Earl of Grantham showed when a chauffeur wanted to marry his daughter.

Summary
This quote implies that the current Labor party leadership views working-class students studying certain subjects with a level of shock or disapproval similar to that of an aristocratic figure who opposes a marriage between someone of high social standing and someone from a lower class. It suggests that the leadership has a limited or elitist perspective on education and the aspirations of working-class individuals.
