Rosie Holt’s takedown of the ‘get a better paid job’ Tory MP is so on the money it hurts

Safeguarding minister Helen Maclean presumably thought she was helping but succeeded only in prompting a wave of outrage and mockery.
A government minister has suggested that people struggling with the cost of living should take on more hours or move to a better-paid job.

There was one upside, however, and that was the brilliant Rosie Holt’s take on the whole thing which has just gone viral because, well, watch.

Fabulously done.
At this point they should cut out the middle man and just send this character out to their media appearances instead https://t.co/98ggY4AV2D

Top advice. I’ve gone from a primary school teacher to CEO of GlaxoSmithKline this morning. Should have done it years ago!

Such a shame Rosie isn't a real MP, she'd fit into my Cabinet so well. https://t.co/fUHcS7RRGa

And as ever the people not getting it – entirely forgivable given the state of this government, obviously – made it even better.
Awful lot of people already thinking this is real and I’m suggesting enslaving old people 👍
