Privileged Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg has launched a fresh attack on the “hopeless” and “rotten culture” of civil servants doing their work from home.
The multi-millionaire, who has a £5m mansion a few minutes’ walk from Parliament, complained too few commuters were at their Whitehall desks adding: “Even accounting for summer holidays, this is hopeless.”
It came as he defended Liz Truss ’s leaked remarks that British workers needed “more graft” like their overstretched counterparts in China.
