The Pimlico Plumbers founder said the Tory leadership hopeful was 'undoubtedly' correct after a leaked recording of her saying there was a 'fundamental issue of British working culture' emerged.

Backing her comments, Mullins told MailOnline: “In my experience, undoubtedly she’s correct in what she’s saying.

“Of course, many British workers are lazy.

“A lot of it is to do with what they think they’re entitled to and what they think they’re worth rather than doing an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay.”

The business owner blasted WFH culture for the decline in British working culture, saying that it has “changed people's idea of wanting to go to work for the worse off”.

He continued: “The pandemic has made people a lot more comfortable at home and not wanting to go to work.

“The good workers are in work and the ones who don't want to go to work, or want to work from home, for me they're the lazy people”.

Mullins said his main issue with British working culture was that some people 'feel they’re entitled to just get money and do nothing' compared with foreign workers who 'are more hardworking'.

“There's no two ways about it, I find most foreign workers are more hardworking,” he said.

“They work twice as hard as some of the Brits, that's quite noticeable.”

His comments came after Liz Truss faced a backlash for a leaked recording obtained by the Guardian in which she could be heard saying British workers lack 'graft'.

In the recording, Truss can be heard saying: 'There's a fundamental issue of British working culture.

“Essentially, if we're going to be a richer country and a more prosperous country, that needs to change. But I don't think people are that keen to change that.”

She added there was a "slight thing in Britain about wanting the easy answers", before saying: "But actually what needs to happen is more… more graft. It's not a popular message."

She also said that productivity was “very, very different in London from the rest of the country", claiming this was "partly a mindset and attitude thing”.
