Ministers have not done enough to prevent another P&O Ferries scandal

P&O has claimed it will sign a charter on working conditions - but this charter is voluntary and there are no consequences for breaching it

Labour will guarantee working rights at sea with a binding charter🚢

Household debt spiralling.
