Downing Street today defended a top Tory who suggested Brits could work more hours or move to a better-paying job to cope with rising bills.
Minister Rachel Maclean provoked a backlash when she said it could be a “long-term” plan to “make sure people are able to protect themselves better” in the cost-of-living crisis.
Ms Maclean said she was not "suggesting for one moment" that such an option would work for everyone, adding: "It may be right for some people.”
