From Rugg’s claims of 70-80 hour work weeks to a breakdown in trust after a Covid-positive flight, and Ryan’s alleged prime ministerial ambitions, the details have been laid bare
On 25 September, Ryan was “very angry” and “highly accusatory” that Rugg did not prepare her adequately for sitting weeks.
On 7 November, Ryan “blamed me when she missed her speaking spot on a pension bill”, claiming Ryan was “furious with me and walked off mid-conversation”. Ryan denies any hostile conduct in these and other episodes. Ryan accepts she was “upset” at missing the speaking spot, but denied that she was “furious”.I don’t think it’s working out … I feel when I ask you to work longer hours or on the weekend, you look at me like you don’t want to and that you feel that I’m taking you away from your family and that I’m a bad person. You are not working hard enough and I need someone who works harder than you.
