Slowdown of 2008-10 greatly impacted the debt/GDP but since then despite good recovery nothing was done to reduce the 80%.

Warranty,
Dont be surprised that share price has not crashed. Because, 1) lab has to win with great majority, 2) does all legal and plannings, 3) allocate budget and approve it in parliament.

It takes decade to accomplish the above and the chances of lab winning majority is close to zero if not less. Even lab said the plan is for 2030! By then big boys would push the share price a lot higher than todays price.

GDP gone up a lot more. My ref to it doubling is that national debt is usually expressed as percent of gdp.

In percent it went from about 40% to 80 between 1997 and 2010. It has remained stable in the 80% from2010 to 2019.

Jack, big differences to 2017 imv.

The YouGov regional polling from last week with a 10,000 sample size
is worth a look, it's really dire for Labour. Never say never, but if JC
ends up as PM it would be on a scale of a 1945 general election upset,
can't think of any more recent examples.

Ekuuleus,
I am not labour and am trying hard to like Tories but do you realise that between 2009- 2019 national debt gone up 100%, i.e. one trillion pounds?

Yes similar to 2017, the outcome was that May ended up losing seats.

[aussiedonnie] 15/11/2019 10:58

Watch and learn.

[essentialinvestor] 15/11/2019 10:55

Might help to calm a few people down - and I'm not even a Tory supporter.


Far more pressing concerns to worry about re equity markets, like deterioration in macro etc
impacting earnings and valuations.

OH - Labour say they will directly give share holders government bonds for their shares at the valuation that Labour say the shares are worth - No cash to be given to the share holders.

[our haven] 15/11/2019 10:50

Loganair - That would mean a rush to sell government bonds lowering their yield again. If Labour start to look like they have a chance of winning foreign investors in government bonds will pull out prior to the election further lowering bond yields. Surely they mean that they will pay cash to shareholders and raise this money from the issue of long dated government bonds?

Being reported Nationalising BT will destroy Kcom's business model, they will go out of business as will other companies be badly effected.

[loganair] 15/11/2019 10:43

Labour say they would Nationalise these companies by giving Government bonds paying virtually no interest in exchange for the shares.

I’m not a holder here but if I was I’d sell now because I’m surprised the share price has held up so well so far but can’t see that continuing.

[jack1236] 15/11/2019 10:39

The big problem with BT is and has always been that the employees aren't multi-tasking. E.g. you can't find a customer service employee that can deal with Broadband and Telephone. They hive you off to different departments for each.

[guss] 15/11/2019 10:36

Free broadband for everyone will be a massive boost for online gambling and porn.

[montyhedge] 15/11/2019 10:35

Had BT fibre installed, six mini discs, superb speed, can complete nearly with high frequency traders, lol.BT Fibre a winner.

[jack1236] 15/11/2019 10:35

Well, Gavin Pattison, yes the BT Guru starts two new high paying jobs in October.

[essentialinvestor] 15/11/2019 10:33

Of more relevance is the amount reportedly agreed to retain CL coverage.

Find the price hard to justify myself, but would hope they
know what they are doing.

[montyhedge] 15/11/2019 10:30

Lol, joking aside, of course Labour no chance, I see BT 210p by Xmas, easily with The Santa Rally.

Corbyn - Chairman of the Board

John McDonald - CEO & CFO

[essentialinvestor] 15/11/2019 10:26

The SNP are not going to p1ss off hundreds of thousands of small shareholders
by agreeing to below market privatisations imv- if they get another referendum they
need every vote available.

Look at the UK water utilities, the SP's have been rising for months.

[montyhedge] 15/11/2019 10:22

Corbyn new CEO of BT lol,

[warranty] 15/11/2019 10:21

I’d love to believe Corbyn has no chance of being in charge but a hung Parliament is entirely possible and a Labour government supported by the SNP would agree to anything, including another Inderef. The Scots wouldn’t care about the rest of the UK as long as they got what they wanted so I wouldn’t be quite so sure re-nationalisation could never happen.

The Tory’s have done a cracking job so far of sabotaging their position just as Teresa May did last time. Sadly Parliament is full of incompetents so I wouldn’t rely on them for anything I’m afraid.

The 'US' Sub Prime scandal, some banks copied the innovative way David Bowie sold rights to his back 'catalog'.

Hopefully some creative banker will do that with my back 'echograms'.
