It's very doubtful this is actually legal, but so what. This is what people voted for when they voted for Brexit. Can't say they weren't warned.

Members of the Cabinet have been advocating for companies to have the ability to do this very thing. Suck it up buttercups.

But Brexit has nothing to do with it in this particular case.

Guardian article: "The straightforward statutory redundancy law is purely UK, it’s the redundancy consultation law that is EU-related and we haven’t changed that."

What P&O did is exactly what many of those politicians backing Brexit were advocating as the new normal afterwards. I see it's reported today that the DfT signed off on this before it became public.

This is pure policy from a Govt actively hostile to workers rights.
