It's the day of the big UK investment summit in London and Sir Keir Starmer has been pressing the flesh with bankers, hedge fund managers and tech bros, hoping to secure their money for Britain. He's just about remedied the transport secretary's blunder on the eve of the summit that nearly drove away £1bn worth of new investment from P&O Ferries owner DP World. But what's the good of bringing this money in when we're no good at spending it?From HS2 to extra runways to nuclear power stations, Kamal and Camilla ask: why can't Britain build anything?

When P&O Ferries suddenly fired its staff on the spot on 17th March, there was an outcry from politicians, unions and the press with widespread scathing condemnation of the company. P&O claimed it had made huge losses during the pandemic and that its current business model was unsustainable. It offered severance packages but the nearly 800 staff who accepted them also needed to agree not to make any legal claims against P&O or talk to the media. Sous chef John Lansdown was the only staff member to reject the redundancy offer and to fight P&O, and their Dubai-based parent company DP World, in the courts for 'Unfair Dismissal'. As the only person speaking out, John was quickly thrown into the media spotlight for a rollercoaster ride he wasn't prepared for. He's also been navigating his legal options and coming to terms with the abrupt end of a relationship with P&O - which he joined as a 16 year old an apprentice chef - and a crew which was his second family. Untold producer Neil McCarthy follows John through the ups and downs of these turbulent 8 weeks as he prepares for a lengthy battle. With additional recording by Sara Parker

In this episode of Industries in Motion, We consider what this means for P&O Ferries and competitors moving forward.

A union boss has spoken of his concerns about safety after it was confirmed P&O Ferries will resume sailings from Dover this week. It's more than five weeks since the company unexpectedly sacked almost 800 workers. Those staff have been replaced with lower paid agency crew. Darren Proctor from the RMT Union fears their schedule could lead to a fatality. Also in today's podcast, hear from our reporter Sean McPolin who has been at the scene of a stabbing in Maidstone. A Medway charity has seen a huge increase in the number of people needing help to afford food. As the cost of living crisis continues, we've been speaking to the founder of Gillingham Street Angels after they were named overall winners at the Pride in Medway awards. It looks like an independent regulator will oversee English football, after the government gave its backing to key proposals from a fan-led review led by a Kent MP. 10 recommendations will be endorsed, including measures to give supporters more say. Chatham and Aylesford's Tracey Crouch has been overseeing the review. It's hoped the Great British Rail Sale will boost tourism in Kent over the next month. Half price tickets can be used from today as part of a scheme to encourage people to use the trains again after Covid. In sport, Gillingham's future in league one is looking rather uncertain after they suffered a 3-1 defeat at the weekend. They're back in the drop zone on goal difference following Saturday's trip to take on Portsmouth at Fratton Park - hear from manager Neil Harris.
Apologies to all our listeners for the irregular programming over the past few weeks but we are back with a banger this week, joined by fellow podcaster Jordan Hartley from Comradio. We discuss everything from the debacle with P&O Ferries sacking 800 members of its staff with no prior notice via video call, to the fact that the current "Cost of Living Crisis" has in fact been the reality for many millions for over a decade, to the Home Office's recent announcement to make asylum seekers Visit Rwanda. Thank you all for your patience and we promise there's some great stuff headed your way. /// CREDITS /// Hosts: Aarjan /// Connor Guest: Jordan Hartley Production: Connor Music: Cardio /// The Clash - Clampdown
Ahead of the TUC's Annual Regional Conference in Hull, Frances O'Grady joins Rob Parsons on The Northern Agenda podcast to discuss the state of trade unionism - and her response to the mass sacking from P&O Ferries.Hull is one of the major employment centres for P&O, which replaced nearly 800 seafarers with cheaper agency staff just a month ago.Frances, who will be stepping down as the TUC's general secretary at the end of the year, calls on the government to "get tough on some of these corporate gangsters".And Rob also speaks to local democracy reporter Stuart Minting, who offers his perspective on the local elections and the creation of a completely new authority in North Yorkshire. Stuart discusses the fears of residents in England's largest county about the transformation, explaining that the "most radical shake-up to North Yorkshire politics in decades" could leave communities a long way from where the decisions are being made.The Northern Agenda is a Laudable production for Reach.

In this week's ‘News Roundtable' episode, host Chris Wright joins Will Jennings, professor of political science and public policy at the University of Southampton; Richard Taylor, political commentator, and broadcaster; and Angela Epstein, journalist, broadcaster, and commentator.The episode begins by discussing “partygate” and the Met's announcement that they will be issuing 20 fixed-penalty notices over Downing Street parties. The panel considers how this will impact the government if the prime minister receives a fine for breaching covid regulations and whether Johnson's luck of escaping the scandal is running out. The conversation touches on the government's mishandling of PPE contracts during the pandemic and whether Michelle Mone made a profit of as much as £76 million selling to the NHS.The conversation moves on to chew over the way that P&O Ferries sacked 800 members of staff to replace them with overseas agency staff. The panel argues whether there is a need for laws to prevent these situations from arising in the future and if the government has turned a blind eye to widespread pay abuses. Together they also discuss the Royal tour of the Caribbean and the memorial service for the Duke of Edinburgh. Are the Royals out of tune with the rest of the country? And finally, the conversation ends with guests delving into the Oscars and whether Will Smith should be stripped of his award after “the slap.”Created & produced by Podcast Partners: www.podcastpartners.comSign up to receive updates by email when a new episode drops at www.wrightonthenail.fm

Rob believes it's time to stand up and speak out! It's recently been discovered that the government were tipped off about P&O ferries mass-zoom firing in advance, yet the government lambasted them publically and offered no help. Listen in to this episode to find out more as well as Rob's own thoughts on the whole situation. KEY TAKEAWAYS A pre-recorded zoom was perhaps not the best way to deliver the news. However, it was kept short, to the point and simple which can often be for the best in these situations. This memo was widely shared in government about the firings before they happened. Many key figures were in the know about what was going to happen including the PMs office and the department for transport. Neither did anything to stop it. It's easy to lambast the corporations and businesses failing. But why are they failing and what responsibility do the people in our government need to take? The powerful thing about social media is that everyone now has a voice. We need to hold the government accountable and remind them that they have a responsibility to businesses.

On Thurday 17th March leading UK ferry operator P&O Ferries sacked 800 British crew across its entire fleet and stopped all sailings. The move sparked fury amongst employees and unions, and consternation in parliament. Many asked was the move - and the proposal to use cheap agency staff instead - legal, and also was it a result of Brexit? In this recording, Professor Catherine Barnard considers the legal implications, and the Brexit question. Catherine Barnard is Professor of European Union Law and Employment Law at the University of Cambridge, and Deputy Director at UK in a Changing Europe.

P&O Ferries and the 800 workers they let go without notice or consultation. Did they break the law, have they committed a criminal offence and what does the statute say the consequences of their actions are. Also, Kehoe has a new part-time job.

The government has vowed to make P&O Ferries "undo" its the mass-sacking of 800 of its workers. Grant Shapps, the transport secretary, said the ferry firm had “exploited a loophole” that would now be closed off by legislation and applied retrospectively. The Prime Minister has also weighed in, saying at PMQs that, "We will be taking steps to protect all mariners that are working in UK waters and ensuring they are paid the living wage." I give an overview of how the uproar around P&O Ferries has come about and what this means for mariners and passengers going forward.Of course this podcast is completely free, as is my weekly travel email.

In a week where: P&O Ferries fired 800 people with plans to rehire via an agency. F1 is back. A Boeing 737 operated by China Eastern Airlines crashed in southern China with 133 people aboard. Russia moves into the Ukrainian seaport city Mariupol. LeBron James moves into 2nd place in NBA All-Time scoring. In Climate: (6:37) In the continuation of the slow death of civilisation at the hands of ourselves, apparently the Arctic & Antarctic suffered 'extraordinary' levels of heating, which I'm sure will raise no alarms to the powers that be.In Education: (20:28) We return to the lives of teenagers, specifically teenage girls and the genuine epidemic of girls with mental health issues.In Race & Society: (35:59) The story of Child Q, a girl who was strip-searched by police in school, has caused people to protest and even school kids walking out of school in defiance. I'm just wondering what kind of power trip you need to have to traumatise a girl in this way.Lastly, in Tech: (46:36) The rise (rebirth?) of 'Dumbphones' - built in the essence of pre-smartphone mobiles - has given people a place to go if they're sick of the worst parts of having a smartphone. Would you ever consider binning your smartphone for the good ol' 3310?Thank you for listening!

P&O Ferries caused outrage last week (17 March) when it sacked 800 crew members to replace them with “cheap agency workers from eastern Europe” overnight.

Of the eight new Viking Longships®, four ships – Viking Fjorgyn, Viking Kari, Viking Radgrid and Viking Skaga – are built specifically to navigate the Seine River and bring guests to the heart of Paris with an exclusive docking location at Port de Grenelle, just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower. The four additional ships – Viking Egdir, Viking Gersemi, Viking Gymir and Viking Hervor – will sail Viking's popular itineraries on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers.The naming of the new river ships comes as Viking continues its 25th anniversary and a year of multiple milestones.

We all rely on GPS – the Global Positioning System network of satellites – whether we want to or not. From shipping to taxis to mobile phones, the goods we consume and the technology with which we run our lives depend upon a low-power, weak and vulnerable signal beamed from a few tonnes of electronics orbiting above our heads. This dependence is a new Achilles' heel for the world's financial, commercial and military establishments. From North Korea's concerted disruption of South Korea's maritime and airborne fleet, to white van drivers evading the boss's scrutiny over lunch, this signal is easy to jam - with disastrous consequences. Quentin Cooper meets the scientists and engineers developing alternative, resilient navigation systems.(Image: Captain David Millar, Senior Master, on the bridge of P&O Ferries' MS Spirit of Britain.
