JETSETTING PM Boris Johnson has been told to “get a grip” on the energy crisis and protect workers from paying the price for the mess with their jobs.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham called on the PM, who is on holiday with wife Carrie and son Wilfred in Marbella in southern Spain, to “bang heads together” to avert job or wage losses as a result of the energy costs crisis.

She also urged industry chiefs and government ministers to work with unions to ward off attacks on jobs as a wave of instability sweeps through Britain's manufacturing and energy industry.
