Obvisously the BBC, which enjoys huge economies of scale and low payment collection costs.

My feeling is that BoJo is doing some Labouresque things that risk the possibility of alienating his populist fans. Things like HS2, nationalising ailing companies and contemplating tax rises.

If he can throw those populist fans a small bone like decriminalising the licence fee and poking the BBC bear a few times, they will happily forgive and forget those Labouresque policies.
