A private company has gone bust due to poor management ,market pressure and strategic decisions that failed , it won't be first wont be the last . Its not like a steel company going and thousands of lives and comm unties suffer ,our taxpayers money is best served in funding public services ,this is just another example of blame and making political capital as Corbyn did today.

Help the folk stranded and move on ,perhaps these airline industries should get together and introduce their own insurance protection fund instead of enjoying decades past of profit .
