UK PM Johnson says Labour's plan to part-nationalise BT is "crackpot"

Fri, 15th Nov 2019 09:37

LONDON, Nov 15 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson said a pre-election promise by the opposition Labour
Party to nationalise telecoms provider BT's fixed line
network to provide free full-fibre broadband for all is a
"crackpot scheme."

"What we won't be doing is some crackpot scheme that would
involve many, many tens of billions of taxpayers' money
nationalising a British business," Johnson told BBC radio.
