Tory leadership frontrunner has said British workers needed ‘more graft’ and they lacked ‘skill and application’ of workers from other countries
Liz Truss, the Tory leadership frontrunner, has said British workers needed “more graft” and suggested they lacked the “skill and application” of workers from other countries, a leaked audio recording has revealed.
The foreign secretary also appeared to blame disparities between London and the rest of the UK partly on “a mindset or attitude thing”, with the Conservative former cabinet minister Sajid Javid saying on Wednesday that British workers “are among the hardest-working in the world”.
