The housekeeper of a Conservative MP claimed she was treated like a slave, suffered insults, was reduced to tears and had to take legal action against the politician’s wife to get paid. Hazel Settas revealed she was given rigid instructions on answering the phone within four rings, how long to run the tap – and even how to arrange avocados in the fruit bowl.
She says she “worked like a dog” for ex-justice minister Jonathan Djanogly and wife Rebecca. Mr Djanogly is the son of Harry Djanogly, a businessman who made his fortune with a Nottingham manufacturing company.
The live-in housekeeper was on duty from 7am to 7pm – but sometimes worked to 11pm, reports the Mirror. But Hazel, 32, claims Mr Djanogly, 57 – MP for Huntingdon, Cambs, from a family worth £300million – looked down on her as “not even a human”. And his wife, claims Hazel, allegedly said: “My husband’s an MP, you’re worthless.”
