The cleaners sharply rebuked the Boris Johnson government in a Downing Street protest on Friday evening, accusing the cabinet of looking at us “as if we were the dirt we clean.”
The protest was called after Sue Gray’s report on illegal parties on Downing Street found that No. 10 staff had treated cleaning and security staff “unacceptably” on several occasions.
Workers told The Independent that respect issues went beyond number 10 and raised issues related to insecure contracts, subcontracting and low wages.
