The Conservative Party's chairman has advised Britons hit by the cost of living crisis to find a job with higher wages or cut back on their outgoings.
Jake Berry's comments were made on Sky News' Sophy Ridge on Sunday programme as he was questioned about the controversial economic strategy being laid out by new Prime Minister Liz Truss and Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng. The remarks will remind some of similar comments made decades earlier by then employment secretary Norman Tebbit at the Conservative Party conference in 1981 when he urged people looking for work to "get on your bike" to find it.
“People know when they get their bills, they can either cut their consumption or get higher salaries or higher wages, and go out there and get that new job,” Mr Berry said. “That’s the approach the government is taking in trying to create growth."
