Boris Johnson said it appeared P&O Ferries had “broken the law” by sacking 800 workers without notice, as he vowed that the government would “take them to court”.

“It looks to me as though the company has broken the law,” the prime minister told the Commons at PMQs. “We will be taking action therefore, and we will be encouraging workers to take action.”
