MP Darren Jones, who chairs the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee said he found it “difficult to agree” with the bosses and accused them of pointing the finger at others. “There’s a theme to your answers today gentlemen, there’s a theme which is: We have rogue posters, we have rogue managers, we have isolated incidents, we’ve got a global pandemic, we’ve got industrial action,” he said. “It’s everyone else’s fault that there are all of these problems, nothing to do with me Guv, nothing to do with me.” Chief executive Simon Thompson, said he was “alarmed” to see a poster put up in a delivery office which urged staff to not “get caught” stopping during their delivery rounds. Mr Thompson said that two employees – who he named – had taken responsibility for that and that it was “absolutely” a one-off, rogue poster.
