The top Tory who has suggested poor Brits could work longer hours had a high-flying banking and business career - and now has generous MPs’ expenses to fund the costs of work.
Rachel Maclean sparked a furious backlash when she told Sky News: “Over the long-term we need to have a plan to grow the economy and make sure that people are able to protect themselves better - whether that is by taking on more hours or moving to a better-paid job.”
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.”
