dailyrecord.co.uk:

A Tory minister was left red faced on Good Morning Britain earlier after Susanna Reid called him out over his record on fire and rehire amidst the P&O sackings.

Business minister Paul Scully was challenged by the host after the ferry company fired around 800 workers from around the UK and replaced them with cheaper agency staff.During an interview on the hit ITV show Reid asked the Tory MP why he "scuppered a Commons Bill" by speaking for over 40 minutes ensuring it "ran out of time".

Scully said the Bill by Labour MP Barry Gardiner would have led to more job losses instead of stopping the fire and rehire culture in the UK.

Reid said: "I just came across this article from one of the newspapers at the time."It said, 'ministers have scuppered a Commons Bill that would have stopped the practice of companies firing staff and then rehiring them on worse pay and conditions, saying that while they oppose such actions, legislation was the wrong way to respond.
