Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab criticised for 'worst idlers' comment at election hustings
- 4 years ago
UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab was criticised by Labour candidate Peter Ashurst for comments made in a book he co-authored in 2012.
Ashurst, speaking on November 25 in Molesey, quotes Raab's book: "The British are amongst the worst idlers in the world."
He then adds: "How dare you call my friends, family, neighbours and the people Esher, the people of this country idle."
The audience then begins to applaud the Labour candidate's speech.
