貝嫂申請(qǐng)政府補(bǔ)助挨批

Victoria Beckham has stopped posting boastful images from her charmed life on Instagram after she faced a public backlash over her decision to use a taxpayer-funded job retention scheme to pay her staff.

She was criticized widely for "taking taxpayer money to furlough her staff and prop up her failing business."
