Today she revealed a ‘bizarre’ encounter in which someone took an unsolicited picture of her at the Job Centre and asked: ‘Are you the actual Laura?’
But the defiant mum-of-two says she is ‘not ashamed’ as she was simply doing what millions of others in the country have had to do.The ex-MP for Crewe and Nantwich lost her seat to Conservative Kieran Mullan Recalling her experience on Twitter, she added: ‘I’ve lost my job and unlike many in Parliament I don’t have a family fortune to fall back on. What do people expect you to do?’Replying to comments on Twitter, she said she’s ‘not bothered’ but though it was ‘odd how shocked people are’.
Classic response but not unexpected,them and us syndrome, maybe I would have taken a double look.
This system is there to be used, right? By everyone or anyone who needs it, right?
I think people can be too defensive, though I understand why. Of course it’s a surprise to see an MP sign on at the job centre but it’ll be yesterday’s news tomorrow 🙃
