Investors see Jeremy Corbyn as bigger risk than Brexit

London | Australian investors and British companies see a bigger risk to their business and assets in Britain from a Labour government led by Jeremy Corbyn than from Brexit. Such is their fear, many are preparing or even activating contingency plans, say lawyers and advisers.

Labour and the Conservatives are neck-and-neck in opinion polls, and the unpredictability of the imminent Brexit parliamentary vote and its aftermath means an election could happen much sooner than the scheduled date of May 2022.
