Even before the referendum result, I stated to those in my personal network that the establishment would never let Brexit actually happen. Any stage in proceedings since the result which suggested that to be wrong has been a surprise, starting early ...

As Boris Delivers A Brexit Deal Sterling Soars Then Slumps

Don't rule out the possibility that in their phonecon early this AM, PM BoJo might just have asked him to do so in order to squeeze the 'ditherers' and add pressure on to the DUP.

DUP will not vote for PM Johnson's Brexit deal, according to Party Officials

All good. Likewise, with about 40 years in business, and a fair amount of that time either leading businesses or as a recognised troubleshooter, I readily recognise your perspective. Relax, I don't consider this to be remotely close to being ...

Johnson’s Brexit Foe Plans Another Lawsuit to Allow Deal Review

Thanks for responding. You raise some good points. I accept the murder-charge analogy is extreme and I could have stated 'accused client'. It made the point though. I agree also that it's ideal to have everything correct legally. All laws should be ...

Johnson’s Brexit Foe Plans Another Lawsuit to Allow Deal Review

The EU and the UK Government have compromised. Faced with the extinction of their very raison-d'etre, it's hard to see how the DUP would compromise on anything short of an effective full border etc., despite any hints at their sincerity in finding a ...

DUP will not vote for PM Johnson's Brexit deal, according to Party Officials

No surprise. Like a lawyer determined to get his client accused of murder off on a technicality, the motivation here is to block Brexit, on any possible technicality.

Johnson’s Brexit Foe Plans Another Lawsuit to Allow Deal Review

Fair question: which is the chicken and which is the egg? If the market moves significantly at the same time, is it a fair confirmation on the allocated Flag Status, or is it because it's Flagged Red, that the market moves?

Senior EU official: consent is a key question

That depends on whether you're aiming at scalping the short-term or seeking a longer-term trend. Both can be achieved.

Reports That The EU Sees A Brexit Deal As Impossible Unless The UK Changes Stance

Although your question is probably more rhetorical than specific, there have been numerous reasons for the lengthy impasse, some of which could have been guessed at in 2016, some not. Nobody would thank me for making a long list but top of the list ...

Brexit Deal Hopes Rise As ‘Last Minute Compromises Are Made’

I'm game for offering a hypothesis, which could be well-wide of the mark but hey-ho. It MIGHT amuse some others. BJ is a Brexiteer and has arranged a team committed to it, unlike May. He and his very smart, clear-minded strategist, even if inclined ...

Michel Barnier has got green light from the EU27 for there to be tunnel negotiations

Whether fresh or old news, it should not be a surprise statement. DT leaves office at the end of November. DT only wants further integration and extension and certainly no withdrawals. DT has stated that the 'only option to a Hard Brexit is No ...

EU's Tusk: UK PM Johnson Has Promised To Come Forward With A Solution That Will Work For All

It's true that there have been many false dawns, and getting any deal though the UK Parliament is the last hurdle but where this report differs from the vast majority in 2 regards: 1) It's not stand-alone: several agencies are reporting this new ...

Varadkar: Possible pathway to deal seen in coming weeks

Perhaps better stated as acceptable to the Eire Government and UK Parliament.

Varadkar, Johnson agreed could see pathway to possible deal

i wouldn't automatically assume this to be Groundhog Day Brexit News. The BBC is reporting the meeting to have been 'constructive', so this MIGHT JUST represent a genuine change in approach. The best opportunity for brokering a deal has always been ...

Varadkar, Johnson agreed could see pathway to possible deal

Hotel California.

Johnson has committed to sending extension letter, lawyer says

Before the September prorogue the UK Parliament made it law, via the Benn Act, that the PM HAS to request an extension IF there's not a deal happening in time to implement before 31st Oct. This is not the PM changing his mind or lying but stating ...

Johnson has committed to sending extension letter, lawyer says

Classic! Supposed EU stance here: IF the UK accepts the one-and-only thing it has constantly rejected and dislikes with a passion, the EU MIGHT come up with some fringe benefits. This has to be a flippant testing of the water. This tactic of giving ...

EU says concessions are possible if UK will accept backstop

This is precisely the sort of errant, arrogant nonsense from an EU bureaucrat, not elected by the plebiscite, that created part of the momentum for Brexit in the first place. No one should be so insolent as to question the validity or supreme ...

EU's Juncker says Britain will be responsible if no Brexit deal

Can anyone explain why it is that one can never know exactly when BOJ Gov. Kuroda is ACTUALLY going to open his mouth in a Press Conference, post-Monetary Policy Statement release, so that one can avoid the instant senseless trampolining. He rarely ...

BoJ leaves forward guidance for policy rates unchanged. To review the economy, prices at the...

Don't take it as a certainty. It's indicative of a potential recession but analysis of historical Yield Curve Inversion data shows that not every inversion resulted in a recession, whereas all recessions have been preceded by a Yield-Curve Inversion.
