You lot

You lot don't know what you're talking about because you're too busy pandering to the likes of that lot.


What is the function of the word 'lot' in this sentence?


Thanks.

"you lot" is an informal set expression meaning, essentially, "you" (plural), but with a nuance of slight disparagement. It is echoed in "that lot" which refers in a similar way to another group of people.
