He hasn’t done anything of the sort. The clickbait headline is not the story. He merely expressed a different view for the government from her personal opinion. Labour are being attacked for both enforcing discipline and sharing differing opinions. Do you not see the hypocrisy?

I hope this is the end of the matter as she seems to be genuinely interested in and on top of her brief. But she’s also not wrong about P&O and No. 10 had approved a similar press release…

Isn't P&O's behaviour tantamount to blackmail?

She's been treated disgracefully! And what she said was bang on!

We've come a long way from watching your deputy leader chin someone, and shrugging before saying "John will be John".
