Parody of Minister calling for us to get a better job goes viral as it’s too real

"The problem is it actually feels like it could be genuine and thus is the problem with our current political elite," wrote one person.

People struggling during the cost-of-living crisis should consider taking on more hours at work or moving to a better-paid job, a Government minister has said.

Rachel Maclean, safeguarding minister in the Home Office, admitted the idea would not work for all households, but said the solution for some people could be to look for additional work.

The comments come against a backdrop of soaring inflation, rising energy bills and high prices at the petrol pumps.

It comes as a parody of the interview has gone viral.

Here is the original interview to kick off.

Parody

In response, Rosie Holt has created another great parody video and it’s too real. It is worryingly similar to the original clip.

What is so beautifully observed here is the delivery of the new MP – the apparent reasonableness – the “it’s complicated” – the “I know what you are thinking….” All leading up to the mad solution… https://t.co/TeHuj04nLx

🤣 not only is the video funny the comments of people who think it’s real are amazing 😂 the problem is it actually feels like it could be genuine and thus is the problem with our current political elite 😂😅 https://t.co/lSUZp5M6RH

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

Rosie is consistently the finest satirist of this current sh*t-show we find ourselves in. The fact that she gets hundreds of replies thinking it's real each video should tell you something. A treasure. https://t.co/xp3HfFuTXm

Honest to God I’d love to see Rosie Holt do Question Time in character. https://t.co/n1oOjnYaxQ
