It’s been a difficult week for Amber Rudd. After the Home Secretary used her speech at Conservative conference to call for companies to declare the number of non-British workers they employ, Rudd found herself in the firing line — with one presenter even comparing the speech to Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Now, her brother has joined the chorus of boos.
Roland Rudd used an article in the Evening Standard on Thursday to criticise her speech over the ‘denigration’ of foreign workers. The PR supremo argued that ‘those of us who want a sensible Brexit, who want Britain to remain a beacon of tolerance and who find the denigration of non-British workers appalling have a duty to speak out’.
If that wasn’t a clear enough message to his formerly pro-Remain sister to reassess her position, he has now appeared on the World at One today to pile further pressure on the Home Secretary to reconsider her words.
