That article disappeared behind the paywall before I could read it all.  I can't use NJ's advice for skirting the paywall - I'm on my phone.  Can someone please tell me why they've made this decision?

She attacked their working practices.

The fishwife approach was ok when she was in opposition.

"Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the DP World boss, will no longer attend the event after Louise Haigh, the Transport Secretary, and Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, described P&O as “unscrupulous” and “exploitative” this week.

This relates to the Government’s efforts to strengthen workers’ rights, which includes vowing to close a “legal loophole” that P&O allegedly exploited when sacking almost 800 workers in 2022. "

Welcome to Labour's UK, which the Prime Minister insists is "open for business".

6.20 - spot on.

Poundland Barbie is a lightweight not fit for Govt. It's 'kind of' OK to ignorantly lob bricks when in opposition but the **** should not do so when in Govt. 

 

For Ravingmods/TCL's benefit before this post is yanked, the dictionary definition of *** is a disreputable person, so the description is entirely apt.

S.k.a.n.k

Someone needs to buy her a copy of 'How to win friends and influence people'.

Merely as a BTW, why does the AB Nanny Filter replace s.k.a.n.k with asterisks?

 

It is not a swear word. It means disreputable person.
