Share your thoughts on the claim that people should work more hours or get a better job

After a government minister advised that some people might consider taking on more working hours or moving to a better paid job to combat the cost of living crisis, we want to hear your thoughts on the suggestion.

Conservative MP for Redditch in Worcestershire Rachel Maclean, also the safeguarding minister in the Home Office, advised that focus is needed so people can 'protect themselves better', saying: "Whether that is by taking on more hours or moving to a better-paid job."

Ms Maclean did also caveat this by saying: "“It may be right for some people, they may be able to access additional hours, but, of course, it is not going to work for people who are already in three jobs."
