The danger is that we are being gas lighted (gaslit?).
Mr Hebblethwaite prompted further anger when he told the transport committee P&O "did choose not to consult" on the move and "did not believe there was any other way to do this".
P&O's owner DP World had warned Mr Shapps that Irish Ferries was a new "low-cost competitor" that would pose a challenge to the business, minutes from a meeting in November revealed.
Mr Shapps had replied to DP World boss DP Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem: "I'm aware of the issues relating to P&O. I recognise you will need to make commercial decisions, but please do keep us informed."
But the transport secretary told BBC Breakfast the first he knew of the P&O sackings was when he was "stood at the despatch box" in the Commons last Thursday delivering a statement on another issue.
Takes after his boss.
