We need to mount a campaign to keep IDS a British plc and insist ALL deliveries are van shares.

I t makes business sense and I can't imagine any resistance

JB if that is true it would seem the service is back on an even keel and stable (for a few years at least). I'd still prefer it to be a plc though.

Pile as many taxes, threats of industrial and expensive acquisitions on this company as you want, but it is clear how badly DK wants it

Radio 4 have said it is understood DK has made further 'concessions'......

It still feels all up in the air to me, but this NIC hit seems bad news for an increased offer

'quagmire' sums it up for a concise shareholder update

Great song: woodcutters son, Paul Weller

This stock has to have been one of the most volatile and 'unpredictable stocks on the market in the last decade '

Mike, everyone here thought they were invested in a simple 2 way shipment channel.......

If somehow Banksy is reading this, how about this for your next mural:

Wet pizza leaflets hanging out of that famous gold letterbox on the door of no 10.

If the proposed changes were implemented tomorrow nobody would even notice

The sound of 700k shareholders completely in the dark

The next time the government does its bit will be the first

The ultimate institution is back in town (not that it ever left) to decide our fate. Radio 4 have said they expect to report at the end of September

When someone says we have no qualms'in principle ' it usually ends up having a 'BUT ' attached

Personally, i want I DS to stay British and take Amazon on -but the board do not

Oli , 'would imagine that RM are well down the pecking order' : I am amazed at that for someone who has spent his entire life in the g.p.o

'DK to take on Amazon '?we are invested in an absolute gold mine

And that, fellow shareholders, is where the labour government comes in

From this is money: youshould never underestimate the determination of Barclays, Goldman Sachs and other investment bankers advising the IDS, or the bidding banks led by JP Morgan, to get the deal done and burnish revenues and bonuses.

Whatever the commitments made in the course of a takeover, they become much harder to enforce once a company has vanished from the public markets.

In the same way Ofwat has never fully managed to lay a glove on Thames Water owners, so Ofcom will face a mammoth task of ensuring the preservation of the Universal Service Obligation once ownership has passed offshore.

Similarly, the fate of the 112,000-strong workforce will be hard to police.

On the subject of other stocks, I've never owned shares under a labour government -would any established FTSE stalwart offer a forecast of where the index will be after a 'decade of renewal '?

Simx, I remember dowsies prophetic synopsis: it doesn't matter what you or I (or indeed any shareholder) thinks- it's what the government (of the day)thinks.

RM back in the headlines big time over postal votes. Could it void the election?

'in late campaigning, sir Keir vows to make public services work again '
