Among left-wing political activists in the United Kingdom, the catchphrase "Never Kissed A Tory" is a political slogan popularised by individuals who oppose the Conservative Party (often referred to as Tories). This slogan is associated with the LGBTQ community. It is often seen in protests, social media, and merchandise to make a statement about one's political beliefs and affiliations.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
