1. Keir stalin must go!

2. Don’t blame them

3. Can't say i blame then this country is the laughing stock of the world

4. Just a reminder folks. P&O fired all their UK workers by text. They then hired foreigners on less than the minimum wage. It was "legal" because, technically, the ferries are not "in the UK" even if they go between England and Ireland, they arent subject to UK employment law. Several employees have come forward with other accusations, like money taken from wages to pay "food" and "board", leaving them with basically nothing after 60 hr work weeks… Some accusers used words like "slave labour" to descrive them. Let them pull out and fail.

5. Silence is golden .

6. The left loose again

7. Bit more than a Wobble, I fear

8. The Labour ladies are a bit miffed because the company didn’t give them any “ freebies “

9. I hate labour but I support them on this, DP should be told to do one and start being proper employers, the way they behaved was degusting

10. It will all end well after meeting Starmer who will be on his knees, and red heads job will be on a slack nail.

11. Such a fool he lets the Americans fleece the UK and scares off all the real investors .

12. No big company is going to invest in the uk with the cost of doing business the cost of energy and the governments idiotic tax regime

13. P&O are a shocking employer – they deserve to be outed. I doubt DP's hissy-fit will have any adverse effect. The less we're beholden to Dubai, the better.

14. the uk is officially for sale.

15. I think these so called news channels need to actually visit London Gateway and see the expansion well underway

16. Has any one noticed in this clip starmer says "budget" instead of summit. there was a slip the other day, not sausages, which with that one make three visible in youtube.

17. What a joke. They are not working for our country

18. Why can’t British tycoons invest in the UK???

19. Just proved the point, outrageous behaviour from a company. We should be thankful and look elsewhere

20. They're deliberately destroying the country, they can't be that incompetent.

21. Including a £24B investment.
    Is that the renewables that the Tories set in motion at £22.4B and Kier has added 'only' £1.6B over 5 years

22. These socialists will cost us a fortune. Always do.

23. Pocketing money.
    No comment on anything.
    Lord ali will pay for new undies. Don’t worry.

24. UK is toast. Tory were thieves , Labour are incompetents

25. That's all well and good, but I think I speak for everyone here when I ask, when are the sausages going to be released?

26. Business friendly Labour as always.

27. Dp world own by people traffickers and alway expecting bail out and employing mirgrate that right put them to work on the ships for 5.00 per hour they might be able to drop them back as well.

28. If thats how they behave towards their workers then they can do one and take that 1 billion and shove it !

29. We don’t need DP world investment here as we have seen an heard how they make there fiances grow, what’s the difference between buying clothes from an overseas sweatshop and letting these in exploiting our workers on there idea of a wage. They will throw money at a problem to make it go away.

30. they are outragous and a rogue employer, and if they are going to treat British employees that way I'm glad they're not betting another £1bn foothold in our economy.

31. Just get Sunak back 😂😂

32. P&O sacked their British employees. Need we say anymore?

33. 'Boycott this company that replaced their staff with cheap foreign labour!' says Uniparty government that floods the entire country with cheap foreign labour at eyewatering exponential rates.

34. So who are these investor's them ?

35. UK Government finally growing some balls.
