2. As some have said (eg the RMT, I think), DP World is not fit to run freeports

It's been given the contracts for the Solent and Thames freeports, in which the company basically is in charge of seeing the financial laws concerned with freeports are followed. If DP World was OK with its P&O subsidiary breaking labour law, it can't be trusted to oversee laws elsewhere.

The acid test of whether the Tories are serious about making DP World face the consequences of its P&O decision will be whether they keep the freeport contracts. If they do, anything will be just a slap on the wrist, for show.
