“Labour”, indeed.

Neoliberals have discovered salami tactics to destroy social welfare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg-UqIIvang
those contracts take years to tender and likely have huge clawback clauses. I doubt that Labour got into power and immediately signed contracts for things like this. More likely it was more expensive to stop it.
Bingo. I also suspect they’re gambling on it being a failure. Hard ball behaviour if true but a failure of such a privatisation would be very high profile and likely put a stop to anything similar for a long time.
Also note that failures to meet agreed standards will have penalties so it might be possible for labour to force them out that way.
