His company’s business practices, employment practices, worker remuneration practices and work-place environment practices are all being called into question by HMG, the media and the good old general public.
It’s good to see fat Mike (with his roll of fifty-pound notes in his back pocket) in the hot seat.
But for the Tories Mr Ashley is a shining example of a wealth-creator and job-provider.
Nice to see the Tories having to wrestle with the problem of workplace exploitation writ large (even larger than Mr Ashley ) – how about some union activity, Mrs May?
