Tory chair apologises for telling struggling people to just ‘get better-paid job’
The Independent says Conservative party chairman Jake Berry has apologised for his remarks calling on struggling Britons to “go out there and get that new job”.
The senior Tory admitted he regretted his “clumsy” comments was he grilled on his remarks during interviews on Thursday – insisting he understood how hard people worked.
Mr Berry told Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday: “People know that when their bills arrive, they can either cut their consumption or they can get a higher salary or higher wages, go out there and get that new job.”
