This £100 billion figure is from a report funded by the Privatised Water Industry to lobby against Nationalisation.
Why is a Labour MP regurgitating industry lies?

We don’t need ‘foreign investment’, it’s nothing but a euphemism for allowing foreigners to own our shit. Doesn’t matter if it’s government debt or houses, it causes inflation and it’s just selling our futures.
Fuck foreign investment, might as well just print it ourselves or just take it from those that already have far too much.
Enough of letting finance spivs dictate how shit goes in my opinion.
If we let them win, we lose, if we fight them they will mess with ‘the market’ and generate as much FUD as they can but it’s the only weapon they have and we need to take it off them, one way or another.
The investments I was referring to was gilts, which is how the government borrows money from foreign countries and private investors.
We do absolutely need foreign investment as our national debt is currently £2.7 trillion (about £40k per person)
If governments start selling that debt, then higher interest rates will be demanded for new gilts by those willing to still buy them.
