Audio leaked : Liz Truss criticizes UK employees

Liz Truss said British workers needed ‘more graft’ and lacked skill of foreign rivals, leaked audio reveals.

The Tory leadership frontrunner said in audio from five years ago that those outside London were less likely to be hard workers and there was little desire for work culture to change within the UK.

In the clip, leaked to The Guardian, Ms Truss said those outside London were less likely to be hard workers.

She said British workers as a whole also lacked the “skill and application” of foreign rivals, specifically those in China.

Ms Truss said it was “partly a mindset or attitude thing” and there seemed little desire to change the working culture so the UK could become more prosperous.

She also referenced a book she co-authored in 2012, Britannia Unchained, saying a passage from it was “mischaracterized”.
