Chris Philp: No-one can doubt his work ethic after he crashed the economy in 39 days
31 Jan 2025
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp’s claims that Britons need a better work ethic, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper said:
“No-one can doubt Chris Philp’s work ethic after he crashed the economy in just 39 days as Treasury minister under Liz Truss.
“He also treated himself to a £5,000 taxpayer–funded handout after finally resigning from Boris Johnson’s government.
“The British public will no doubt take his advice with a bucketload of salt.
“The Conservatives could do with showing a bit more humility after trashing the economy and leaving the NHS on its knees.”
