The looming early election poses a threat to the North Sea oil industry as Labour's plans to increase taxes and ban new drilling could lead to the sector's decline. Experts warn that if Labour fulfills its promises, operators may abandon British waters, resulting in fewer jobs, lower tax revenues, and increased global emissions.

Managers are taking advantage of lower funding costs by issuing more lower-rated bonds, including deferred class F tranches, boosting equity returns. While these returns are currently strong, they may be impacted if global central banks cut interest rates or if financial distress increases.
