Warranty - I can't disagree with anything you say, however one of the problems for voters is that the Tory spending plans and election promises are just as unsubstantiated and unbelievable.
If the Tories win a working majority I believe we will end up with a far harder version of Brexit than anything so far proposed which will wreak a different type of havoc on the UK economy.

Not just the cost of running these businesses falling on the public purse but also the frightening prospect of trade unions, freed of the Thatcher restrictions, bringing untold damage though strikes and a return of secondary picketing. These companies require huge investment on top of what they’re bought for and with no shareholders to tap, where’s that going to come from? Labours whole spending plan is just madness and I trust the British electorate to see right through it. Thankfully once their manifesto is out it will fall under enormous scrutiny when it will be ridiculed for the sham that it is.

Bad news if Labour wins

[supercity] 15/11/2019 07:09

They spend three years lying and breaking promises and doing their best to scupper brexit and then a forced election is called to break the brexit deadlock and suddenly we are all expected to believe it's all about the NHS and nationalization of services.I think he actually believes he can buy part of BT and give broadband away for free - the man is deluded

Jeremy Corbyn has no chance of winning the election next month,Labour has tried getting Socialist left wing leaders elected before and failed each time. Michael Foot tried and then Neil Kinnock tried,each was beaten. Only when Labour have a moderate leader,like Tony Blair, do they pose a real threat to the Tories. I wouldn't worry about getting a Corbyn govt,it isn't going to happen.

BT SPORT have won the right to broadcast the Champions League on British screens for a ten-figure fee, according to reports.

Uefa have been tendering the TV rights for between 2021 and 2024 with no official announcement yet made. (as per The Sun just posted)

Close down the Plc casino markets...

[essentialinvestor] 14/11/2019 23:15

If I could buy everything for a fraction of market value, that would be great.


A radical Labour government likely requires an overall majority,
it's a slim to no hope prospect.

[loganair] 14/11/2019 23:08

Labour say they will Nationalise:

1. Royal Mail.
2. The Railways.
3. National Grid.
4. Water.
5. Broad-band and BT. (what about the other broad-band companies - how would this effect them?)

And say it is a good idea as interest rates are so low.

[essentialinvestor] 14/11/2019 23:07

This board has suddenly sprung to life, have I missed something )

Doubt there will be any plunge.

[loganair] 14/11/2019 22:50

Labour are talking about borrowing £500bln to Nationalize so much and they say it is worth it as interest rates are so low.

The biggest problem with such low interest rates is the extremely poor allocation of capital.

[lastoneout] 14/11/2019 22:48

No. It was sold for peanuts. Buying it back will cost a bob or two though. But hey a public service being run as a service to the public - now that takes me back

[fionascott1234] 14/11/2019 22:48

So buy BT at 11am tomorrow after it's price has collapsed because on this alone Labour will NOT get in. Besides, Diane Abbott would be Home Secretary, that alone would scuttle Labour.

[fjgooner] 14/11/2019 22:48

I'm not a holder in BT but I am a decent market capitalist.

This really annoys me as many level headed observers will see this Communist intervention as a clear attempt at market manipulation.

[george stobbart] 14/11/2019 22:44

Corbyn and the radical communists trying to vandalise BT and take it public for peanuts.

[loganair] 14/11/2019 22:41

Labour say they will break up BT and nationalist broad-band which will cost upto £30bln.

Labour is saying Private bad, Public good.

[fjgooner] 14/11/2019 22:32

Aarrggh!

Those filthy communists must never be allowed to commit these sorts of economic crimes in OUR country.

Once Comrade Corbyn & His Stalinist Politburo have been thoroughly defeated in the general election, the real Labour Party must re-assert and cleanse itself of these Trotskyite scumbags. A real democracy needs a creditable opposition, not a tongue-in-cheek nod to a failed cold-war Cuban idealism.

Who's going to be paying the taxes for such "free full-fibre broadband" once these Stalinists have destroyed our economy for a generation?

“A Labour government would compensate shareholders by issuing government bonds. Mr McDonnell gave an absolute guarantee that no pensioner would lose out as a result of the nationalisation.R21;
Ohh and I guess that would be due to the crown guarantee already in place.
Omg it just gets worse everyday. Well done labour LOL...........

[obmuj] 14/11/2019 22:31

Yes, just heard the Labour plan for broadband and part nationalisation of BT on BBC news.
Simon Jack, the business correspondent stated: stock market price tomorrow for BT could mirror/reflect outcome of election result for Labour.
Also what about the other players; eg Virgin et al.

[diku] 14/11/2019 22:30

Exactly what do they mean by left out of pocket?...meaning no profit and who decides the benchmark



including ensuring pension funds with investments in BT are not left out of pocket.

[chapchip] 14/11/2019 22:23

More likely a knock down

[danieldruff2] 14/11/2019 22:23

A family member of mine runs a full time business providing broadband to isolated users because BT will not do the work.

[diku] 14/11/2019 22:22

So do we get a premium tomorrow?...
