Conservative MP Iain Wright, who cochaired the parliamentary inquiry into the BHS collapse, launched the most savage attack on Sir Philip, saying: "He took the rings from BHS' fingers, he beat it black and blue, he starved it of food and water, he put it on life support and then wanted credit for keeping it alive."
