Keir Starmer publicly supported Transport Secretary Louise Haigh after she faced backlash for her controversial comments about P&O Ferries, impacting the upcoming investment summit.
Starmer appeared to distance himself from Haigh’s statement labeling P&O Ferries a rogue operator, emphasizing the government’s official stance which contradicted her comments.
After a cabinet dispute over P&O Ferries, it was revealed that the parent company, DP World, withdrew from the key investment summit amidst calls for a boycott.
Peter Hebblethwaite, P&O Ferries' boss, was challenged by MPs regarding the sacking of 800 workers, asserting the controversial decisions were necessary for business viability.
