LAST week Tory MP Nathalie Elphicke was on the streets in Dover saying she would march for the people of the town as she was so against the treatment of the P&O workers, as was Grant Shapps in parliament.
This week the two of them and every other Tory MP ABSTAINED when given the opportunity to outlaw “fire and rehire”.

Brexit coming home to roost – French P&O workers are protected by the law and the Tories, given notice of P&O’s intentions, sat on their hands.

THERE is no doubt the pandemic would have had a devastating effect on P&O. However it is the future that is the concern for them, and making profit on a highly competitive route to Europe is going to be tough with the lower footfall and freight caused by Brexit. But have a guess who backed Brexit? The RMT!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
