So many companies collapsed in the last 3 years. It must be nothing but coincidence with Brexit.

Fly Be no more, ,,, Rescue much noise about very little,, again.

Yeah, but the virus was more powerful

Such a shame. I was really hoping it could hang in there.

felledger Why didn’t they just give the money directly to their mate richard Branson? Cut out the middle (tax) man

Awful

Should have let UKLabour win. They'd have got a dozen year's PR pwnage out of this collapse. Imagine Labour actually promising to just let private sector companies fail? Then again, buying the worthless shares is how state takeovers ought to be done, no?

Beautiful government socializes losses is the discreet neoliberal charm

Whatever will be will be.

What ever this government announces it turns to failure. This is the way brexit will turn out. Disaster.

I suppose we get HS2 which nobody needs or afford.
