The articles I’ve read suggest they’ll purchase the company for approx $14 billion and have promised to invest an additional $14 billion in the USA (see link below).
It’s the additional $14 billion investment that the Senator is trumpeting.

Quite what happens to a society that dehumanises its neighbours and turns its conscripts into criminals?
What happens to Israel when those young people living through this bloodshed in the rest of the world get old and ascend to power?
Even if one cared not for Palestinians, this is sheer folly.

I find it fascinating that Starmer’s disgraceful speech didn’t touch on the harms of foreign money/influence on our politics (eg Russian influence on the Brexit referendum), our social media, our housing market, and the city.

This is a consequence of govts of all stripes allowing the housing market in London and the SE to be treated as an investment by foreigners and not focussing on the proper function of housing being to house our people. I don’t expect Starmer to have the courage to do better.

Probably fear that it’ll explode the London property market.
There is so much foreign owned housing in London (some of which is deliberately left empty) that if it all went on the market, we’d likely see a crash and the electorate won’t forgive the party that causes this crash.
