Chris Philp, the Conservative shadow home secretary, emphasized the need for the UK to enhance its work ethic in a BBC interview, pointing to nine million working-age adults not in employment. He believes everyone should contribute to maintain competitiveness with rapidly growing economies like China and India. Reflecting on his early experiences and career in business, Philp asserted that hard work brings rewards and should be a national cultural focus. He voiced concern that Britain lacks this belief in hard work today, claiming the country must 'up its game' to thrive economically.
As we compete globally with countries like South Korea, China, India, we need a work ethic, we need everybody to be making a contribution.
I found that working hard brought its own reward and I've kept doing that ever since. It is something I would like to infuse more into our national culture as well.
