I do wonder if Leukert’s brief when he comes in is to align BT’s IT with that of DT 🤷‍♂️

Some unusually positive press for BT over the weekend. It will be interesting to see how this opens tomorrow and progresses through the week.

Mr.Mittal, top brass, DEI policy, historic BT flag, Straw woman CEO, Lord for Mr. Mittal....................HOUSE! I win at LSE bingo.

As ever, top well researched post, with 3 well deserved 3 recommendation at 06.16 am. Its brilliant here. Roll on a bib! (not a typo)

Good find 👍 I think it’s more of a move within the business to sprinkle his magic at BT in the same way he has at DT.

Maybe a tad OTT for a loyal workforce who probably have families and children to support. Its nice to be nice.

No they haven't said they will increase the dividend by 30%. You will have to wait till full year results on the 22nd May to hear what dividend they are paying in line with most companies. You may be mixing up that they pay 30% of previous year dividend as the interim dividend every year. The only guidance they have given on the dividend is they wish it to be "progressive".

Still ongoing

It will be that nob head Polo Tang at UBS who hates BT but loves DT, draw your own conclusions!!

Safe havens - always happens in uncertain times and I think these are uncertain times with that Tit Trump.

I have no Idea what this message means because you didn't say it to me, face to face in an office environment!

The only things they have said regarding the dividend is the interim dividend will be 30% of previous year full dividend hence in Feb 2.4p paid = 30% of 8p (previous full year dividend). Plus that the dividend moving forward will be "progressive". Have to wait till 22nd of May to see what that means.

Consolidation on going - comments are interesting.

I think the only people who know are MS and they seem to be keeping their cards close to their chest. As someone said previously, us retail investors will be the last to find out. 🤦‍♂️

And so it continues.

I wonder when they are going to "shake it all about"

Abject sympathies to all those affected by the job losses. I always hoped they would go by natural attrition. Very sad.

I don’t think this is just about EV’s "multiple uncertainties facing the automotive industry" This could put additional pressure on the car finance mis-selling court case hopefully.
