Comments by one Tory MP that those struggling with the rising cost of living should look for a "better-paid job" have been described as "out of touch with reality".
WalesOnline reports that Rachel Maclean, safeguarding minister in the Home Office, believes the solution for some people could be to look for additional work. However, she did admit the idea would not work for all households.
The comments come against a backdrop of soaring inflation, rising energy bills and high prices at the petrol pumps. Ms Maclean told Sky News: “I think what we need to focus on now is over the long-term. We do have these short-term pressures on us that we’re all aware of.
