Free market capitalism is dead in the UK.
Killed off by greed, corruption and workers rights.

IDS/RMG need to right size the business and update it to survive.
Massive overstaffing, many no longer required.

But the state sector, NHS in particular is bloated and a lot worse.
A lazy unreliable workforce, rampant absenteeism as a right.
Why should RMG workers suffer when the state sector is untouchable?

But who can fix it?
We are still recovering from ineffective Boris Johnson who did not give a damn about anything but himself. He crushed the economy.
No doubt he is now making a fortune in ways we do not like to think about.

I read today that Starmer is under pressure from the CWU over the IDS/RMG takeover bid.
They have just agreed to effectively nationalise the railways, who knows what they will do with RMG.

But look at the shambles of Thames Water, totally wrecked by privatisation.

Corruption, Greed, laziness, Unions..we are doomed.

It would be crazy not to modify the running of IDS/RMG when the letter part of the business is in such decline, and the parcels are such a growing opportunity.

Gradually this potentially great company will be updated and in time have a share price at least double that of today.
This cheeky bid will focus minds, but either way the bidder is in a win win situation.

The only way to save basket case UK is to have efficiently run UK companies and similarly a more efficient public sector.

I sense the mood s shifting, even the hapless Sunak dared to say the other day that people should not take so much time off and that every day problems were no excuse for missing work.

It will be enlightening to see IDS's defence. They are obviously in a better position with no strikes and the Stamp rises, they could also bring next months figures update forward if it is very positive.
The Press are playing into a predators hands by highlighting every letter that goes missing when there are 7billion delivered by Hand every year and upto 20 billion in days gone by. So it's ludicrous to expect every single letter to hit it's target, they are sent and delivered by Humans, these are not digital Bank transactions!
Just look at the Typos and facts Journos get wrong in their reports. Google IDS news and you get 8 different stories about the same thing !

Some articles are stating Kretinsky is making a £4.5billion bid, he is doing no such thing, they are not including any of IDS's assets only debt!

I had a Company bid on the LSE a few years ago and the buyer knew that half the mkt cap was covered by cash they had in the Bank. Again this happened when the market was weak, by the time a rival bid could be proposed it was game over and we all got shafted !
The CEO was a bit naive and I had been advocating that he use that money to pay a Special Dividend or something as it was vulnerable to a takeover. He did FA and the buyer took all the cash with the bid!

The Chinese own our biggest car manufacturer, and what is left of our Steel Industry.
Often they get huge subsidies to take them out, then they attempt to make them viable businesses.

RMG..IDS are similar, it needs new ownership to run it as a proper efficient business.
It will die without it. Amazon will eat their lunch, they must love crushing such inept competition.

Such potential, but tough decisions must be made, being sentimental about the simplicities of the past will not get the problem solved

Huge potential here if it was properly managed. A test case for anti business basket case UK.

And the FT of all Newspapers says that IDS rejects £4.5billion bid? Now how did they work that out when there are only Shares 958m shares in Issue? Let's round that up to 1billion so x 320p errrr £4.5billion??

'The Board, together with its advisers, carefully considered the Possible Offer and concluded it significantly undervalues IDS and its future prospects. Accordingly, the Board unanimously rejected the proposal on 11 April 2024.'

'significantly'

The Board of IDS (the "Board") confirms that on 9 April 2024 it received a preliminary and conditional non-binding proposal from EP Group regarding a possible cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of IDS not already owned by EP Group and its affiliates, namely VESA Equity Investment S.à r.l ("VESA Equity") at 320 pence per share (the "Possible Offer"). VESA Equity is an approximately 27.5% shareholder in IDS.
