Tory MPs attack Brits as Lazy – labelling us “among the worst idlers in the world”

Some absolute charmers from the Tory 2010 intake have attacked the British as “among the worst idlers in the world”. In a new book, Kwasi Kwarteng, Priti Patel, Dominic Raab, Chris Skidmore and Elizabeth Truss make the claim.

And Kwarteng in particular has done nothing to dispel those Boris for leader rumours, saying:

“Boris, when he talks about big infrastructure projects, deregulation and cutting taxes, is absolutely on the money.”
