Thomas Cook is facing mounting criticism after the deaths of two children in a Corfu hotel.

Now footage obtained by ITV News appears to show faulty wiring at one of the tour operators properties in Cuba.

Kristine Williams, a 61-year-old teacher from South Wales, claims she suffered an electric shock while staying there six months ago

Kristine Williams, a 61-year-old teacher from South Wales, claims she suffered an electric shock while staying there six months ago.

She said she was "thrown across the room" after accidentally touching the wiring after reaching behind a bedside table to pick up a hair brush.

And after making a complaint, she claims it took Thomas Cook five months to respond.

Steve Hilton: Thomas Cook former chief executive a 'greedy, shameless woman'

Aye, the clue to the hypocrisy is in the title ... former chief executive!

the article is unfair ..... harriet green's bonus is thoroughly warranted for she turned a moribund company into something thriving once more ....

to attempt to link this remuneration package in some way to TCG's mishandling of these deaths is ridiculous, not least because the event occurred about 10 years ago (if i remember correctly) and well before HG's tenure ..... further, albeit that the advice looks wrong in hindsight, TCG were advised by their lawyers too keep a low profile

Exactly.

Harriet Green to donate a third of bonus to charity after backlash

i'm glad i sold all mine 10p or whatever higher
i don't think there be much long term damage to TCG, but equally, i see no reason to buy or even to hold ...... i reckon sp will gently slip away over the summer, perhaps giving a decent entry point in a few months time
