It takes some brass neck to say British workers need “more graft” when you’ve served in a government that hasn’t done its day job for months.

Not content with thinking nurses in the north are worth less, apparently Liz Truss thinks Brits are all lazy too https://t.co/6USMGb7lRX

the most fascinating thing is that Truss admits that she doesn't believe the EU-bashing

"in the referendum, we say it's Europe that's causing all these problems, it's migrants that's causing problems but actually… it's a bit more graft." https://t.co/WnM5i5L6os

Meanwhile the man who has her unequivocal support …is on his second holiday in as many weeks …while we pay his wages … the blatant hypocrisy of Truss is quite the thing #ToryLeadershipFarce https://t.co/nEPrVibCVq

They grew up never knowing any workers, got their info about workers from Uni pals or Tory papers and believe they know the experience of British workers.*
And they govern us.

And then there’s this.

Liz Truss reckons we need 'more graft'. The truth is, British workers put in the longest working hours of any country in Europe, averaging 42 hours a week.
