No sugar for Lord Alan’s sidekick after he tells Mancunians to ‘suck it up’
‘Suck it in’: but public reaction to Claude Littner suggests that he’s the one who sucks.
If he had an ounce of self-consciousness, Claude Littner would be apologising to the people of Manchester – and the UK – after his TV outburst.
The businessman, said to be worth £34 million, told Mancunians who will enter Tier 3 Covid-19 restrictions tomorrow (October 22) to “suck it up” and “take it on the chin”.
'People are going to be suffering no matter where they come from.'@claudelittner believes @AndyBurnhamGM should accept what is being offered by the government and work together during the pandemic.
He says it is important to focus on protecting lives and the NHS. pic.twitter.com/9SaPHfuTVw

What an arrogant Tory tw@t Claude Littner is, telling people in the north to suck it up when those people have no income #GMB pic.twitter.com/OG17ma3T01

Easy for him to say! He won’t be trying to survive on £5.84 per hour.
Sprinkled among these harsh words were lines straight out of Boris Johnson’s script: “Work together”… “Make sure the NHS is protected”.
For once, the public reaction was harder than the “hard man” of The Apprentice:

Claude Littner, net worth, £34 million (probably much more offshore) sits safe in his mansion and tells the low-paid people of Manchester to "suck it up"#GMB pic.twitter.com/mBVw8nzx7O

Interesting exchange #GMB between Claude Littner and Simon Wood
The first a millionaire telling people to ‘suck it up’
The second, a restaurateur fighting for his staff and hospitality industry who he knows can’t live off 66% wages
I’m with @SimonJWoodUK

Wow Claude Littner so out of touch on this morning's @GMB telling northern business owners they just need to "suck it up" – really? 🤦♀️

I am sick and tired of hearing the hugely wealthy tell the rest of us to 'suck it up'. Claude Littner can shut up. He has no idea and no empathy and I have no interest in what he thinks we should all do. These rich men all sound the same to me.

Disgusted by Claude Littner's attitude to a business owner worried about how to pay his staff – "suck it up" doesn't put food on the table 😡 #GMB

No it doesn’t.
And he’d be complaining to the government pretty damn fast if his income stream dropped because his employees were too busy starving to come to work.
He’s got form. Telling NHS nurses to get a second job if they can’t survive on their present wage
