Embarrassment: Home Secretary Theresa May has admitted employing a foreign worker The Tories faced fresh embarrassment over immigration last night when it emerged that Home Secretary Theresa May uses a Brazilian-born cleaner. A day after Immigration Minister James Brokenshire condemned the ‘wealthy metropolitan elite’ for using cheap labour from migrants, his boss confirmed that she employs a female home help who was born abroad. The cleaner has obtained British citizenship and aides denied that Mrs May played any role in assisting her quest for a passport. But the revelation came as Downing Street admitted that Samantha Cameron helped the Prime Minister’s Nepalese nanny get British citizenship.
