• AT long last we have politicians who are prepared to speak harsh truths to the indolent workers of Britain.

Come on now people! Roll up your sleeves and get stuck in to more graft.

Let’s face it, the likes of Liz Truss have spared no effort in giving us the hint. Every time we see them in the news they’re all kitted out in high-vis jackets topped off with goggles and safety helmets.

Poor hard-working Liz even had to step up when the military crew failed to show up to move that tank in Estonia!

And congratulations to that paragon of hard graft Jacob Rees-Mogg. Despite being cruelly lampooned as an idle toff he had the guts to back her up.

Workers of Britain should shape up and work harder instead of badgering poor multinationals for more money.
