During the match, you probably missed this hair-raising interview with Tory MP & ERG member, Craig Mackinlay. Worth watching in full and sharing.

TL/DR Unemployed or sick or young people - or those retiring early - should be 'encouraged' with 'toughness' to fill vacancies. ~AA

@AnthonyFStevens I think we always knew that secret agenda of Brexit was a kind slash the state, Red in tooth and claw employment conditions. What gets me is how these people claim work can take you out of poverty. Explain that to someone holding down 2-3 zero contact jobs & getting UC to prop up their poverty wages…

@michellelaverick Exactly! What this dude also doesn't get is 40% of people on benefits are low paid working poor.

He also failed to mention those on sickness benefit, the disabled & the fact the vast majority of unemployed are looking for work & spend no more than 6 months on benefits.

If he's so concerned about the UK's lack of UK born turnip pickers, perhaps he should jack in his MP job & pitch in? At least he'd be making an appreciable difference to the UK for once in his miserable life. 🙄

@AnthonyFStevens why do these people continue to be given so much air time and are never really challenged hard on the utter tripe they come out with?

@AnthonyFStevens this MP obviously doesn’t understand that by bullying people into taking jobs they don’t want to do like working in farming or caring or NHS for example you end up with an unhappy workforce which in the end costs the economy more because of people suffering from mental health issues and secondly people have decided to retire early they can obviously afford it do I can’t see them wanting to work in these sectors either which leaves the sick and disabled.

@tommyndavis1952 What they fail to realise is this is an age old problem

Post war, the poor working class demanded change. The UK needed rebuilding, but there was a severe shortage of labour. The government looked toward the Commonwealth to bring in migrant workers to do the jobs the British no longer wanted to do

Hence my Engineer Dad coming here from Jamaica to do a lowly job on the railways & my nurse Mum working in a sausage factory

Today the shortages are in the care sector & veg pickers

@AnthonyFStevens

What a deeply unpleasant and ignorant man he is. Does he not realise many on UC credit are working, doing the low paid jobs being discussed?
“Working is rewarding” has a horribly familiar ring to it as well.
Perhaps he’d like to wipe arses for minimum wage when he is kicked out of parliament at the next election?

@johnhobson EXACTLY!

As I've outlined previously, 40% of those on UC are low paid working poor. He never mentioned the sick, disabled or the fact the vast majority of unemployed are in between jobs & claim UC for no more than 6 months. The smallest percentage are longterm unemployed, classed as anyone on UC for more than 6 months.

If this ERG/Tory plank is so concerned about turnip picking, I think the nation would appreciate him & his mates jacking in their jobs & picking spuds instead... 🤷🏾‍♂️
