Ferries

Two briefing slides, compiled by P&O Ferries, reveal the scale of the damage to the company’s business caused by its decision to sack its crew without warning.

The transport secretary told Joel Hills that P&O can’t carry on the way it is operating, as he urged it to employ people 'at the proper rate for the job'.

Darren Proctor, from the RMT union, said workers are ramping up their protest at both Larne Port and Cairnryan.
