Brits back Home Secretary Amber Rudd’s foreign worker curbs plan but her brother gives it the thumbs down
Remain campaign fundraiser Roland Rudd says the Government has learnt the wrong lessons from Leave vote and is being more divisive than healing
HOME Secretary Amber Rudd was savaged by her own corporate lobbyist brother yesterday as he slammed Ministers for “denigrating non-British workers”.
Remain campaign fundraiser Roland Rudd attacked the Government for being divisive as the row over the Home Secretary’s plans to force firms to publish the proportion of migrants in their workforce raged for a second day.
The blast came as a YouGov poll claimed that nearly 60 per cent of the public BACKED the Home Secretary’s idea – part of a package of proposals to encourage firms to train up and employ more Brits. Only 26 per cent of those quizzed strongly opposed the plan.
Among those supporting them were 86 per cent of UKIP voters, 73 per cent of Tories and 48 per cent of Liberal Democrat voters.
But today, her older brother stormed: “The Conference Party conference strapline may be a ‘country that works for everyone’ but in reality the Government has learnt the wrong lessons from Leave vote and is being more divisive than healing.”
