Last Friday (the day Monarch's three ATOLs were renewed) I met up with a friend whose relative had quoted to her a senior politician who had apparently commented on the Monarch situation at a party that her relative had attended in London.
Anecdotally, it seems that the situation is being discussed at cabinet level. I would expect the PM to be at least briefed on any potential negative company news (particularly post-Brexit) before she finds out on the News at Ten.
However, if true (and I have no reason to doubt my source) in my view it is totally inappropriate for one of her cabinet ministers to then be discussing and expressing opinions about the matter at social events.
