Some may think that's unfair but that's the responsibility that comes with the job. The same would be true if it happened under another Prime Minister.
That’s a bit desperate, even for you.

‘On his watch’ generally is used in discussion of failures the one on watch (or their subordinates) should have seen and taken action on.

It is very hard to see how the government could or should have done anything here, especially as P&O has now admitted it knowingly broke the law in the whole area of *not* telling people what it was planning.
