Transport Secretary Louise Haigh urged viewers to join her in boycotting P&O Ferries.

The company excoriated for sacking 800 workers without notice in 2022 .

DP World threatened to cancel a planned 1bn investment in the London Gateway port.

No 10 has since emphasised that Haigh ’s endorsement of a boycott was the principal issue there has been no change in policy.

This wing, some believe, will fare less well under McSweeney than it did under Gray . “My money is on demotion,” one MP supportive of Haigh says of her. For now, the reshuffle speculation that accompanied McSweeney ’s ascension has faded. But when Starmer does choose to reset his cabinet as he has No 10 it will be another defining moment..
