Rossendale and Darwen MP Jake Berry's 'get a new job' remark is 'outrageous but unsurprising', says constituency council leader
Comments by Rossendale and Darwen MP Jake Berry that people struggling with rising costs should cut their consumption or get a new job have been criticised as ‘outrageous’ and ‘astonishing’ by Labour councillors, including the leader of Rossendale Borough Council.
Labour Coun Alyson Barnes, leader of Rossendale Council, replied: “It’s outrageous, really, but not a surprising. The whole [Conservative] party does not understand the basics of the way our residents are struggling.” ”I think many members of the Conservative Party have had charmed lives. They don’t need to worry about money or turning down the dial However, many people have got worries. For them not to recognise that is a worry.”
