[thread] This weekend, a series of @pplsassembly #CostOfLivingCrisis demos were held across the UK, with P&O workers - represented by their unions @RMTunion & @nautilusint. I agree strongly with the linking of these two issues - and I want to quickly explain why. 1/10
After the ‘fire & rehire’ scandals of the last few years, P&O was the next logical step, except - as the @IERUK’s Keith Ewing has said - it isn’t #fireandrehire but #fireandreplace. The tactic is borrowed from the outsourcing playbook - but it happened overnight. 2/10
It was significantly more radical & newsworthy because @POferries management decided to ignore employment law & take the hit of possible penalties as part of the price of creating a cheaper, casualised workforce. They had done the maths. 3/10
At packed meeting with @Barry Gardener's #fireandrehire campaign, @johnmcdonnellMP says "One step to uniting the party is to restore the whip to Jeremy". 
Asked about Andy McDonald's resignation, @johnmcdonnellMP describes it as "principled".
"If I was Keir Starmer I would accept the conference motion [on £15 an hour] and invite Andy McDonald back [into shad cab]."
