A Birmingham MP's has said her accent has been her " greatest gift" after A Survey found almost half of UK workers had been mocked for theirs.

An entrenched " hierarchy of accent" caused Social Anxiety throughout Some People 's lives, The Report concluded.
" When I was A Kid , my dad warned us we wouldn't be taken seriously because my vowel sounds were very Brummie, " Ms Philips said.
" You still get this assumption that we go down the mines or I work in a car factory because of The Way I sound. "
'Be yourself'She said one of her main roles as an MP was to communicate with regular People , adding that her accent meant they often felt she understood their situations.
Mr Chiles meanwhile urged People to " be yourself".
While acknowledging he might have subconsciously moderated his Brummie vowels over The Years to make them more " acceptable" He Said speaking " clearly" was far more important than People 's accents.
" I have found it To My advantage in Life . . People always underestimated me. They hear a Brummie accent and they think you're thick, " He Said .
" People 's expectations were always very low.
" It meant I had to do relatively little to impress them. I only had to string together three coherent sentences and People looked at me As If I was Stephen Hawking . "
