Ladbrokes' odds on Brexit not happening before 2021, or at all, have collapsed into 2-1. The bookie had originally offered 5-1!

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 13:38

Cannot think why. Nothing unexpected happened today.

[avatar333] 03/11/2016 13:28

The thread has been rather busy, I note.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 13:12

RBS up 6%.

Wonderful headline in the Guardian ...


Brexit will be Titanic success, says Boris Johnson

I thought that the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg.

Bank sees inflation spiking

The Bank of England sees inflation spiking sharply over the next couple of years.

It now believes inflation will hit 2.7% in a years time (that’s up from 2.0% back at the August report)

And the consumer prices index is expected to peak at 2.83% in the second quarter of 2018.

In other news, the BoE has just announced that Britain faces the biggest overshoot of inflation since 1997.

I agree. There should be a GE.


edit

Not from a political view point, but a constitutional.

[polar fox] 03/11/2016 12:03

BBC saying just now, that a GE next Spring "now looms much much larger".

Blair believed, and the economy was stronger during his tenure than at anytime before or since, that EU workers provided the best assurance of year on year growth.

Any deal Britain does with the EU over for example banking and the car industry requires some form of open borders with the EU.

Immigration control.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 11:42

gcom2, how would Britain leaving the EU create a "better future" for working people?

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 11:41

The beneficiaries would be the liberal democrats. They would not win outright but as in 2010 hold the balance of power.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 11:38

I think that that is highly probable.

[polar fox] 03/11/2016 11:36

Lots of folk talking about the possibility of an early General Election. More uncertainty.

Democracy is the ability to elect or remove our leaders.
That is all.

Referenda on complex issues is not in our democratic tradition.
especially when our elected leaders are against it.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 11:23

summary of judgment here ...

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 11:21

peanuts if the wrong outcome would cost Britain trillions.

[gcom2] 03/11/2016 11:18

It is the welsh and english working and middle class being stitched up as usual. The lawyers, advisors, parliamentary committees, advisors,mps, think tanks, media will cream 100's of millions of pounds from this.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 11:15

RBS up 6,51%

[gcom2] 03/11/2016 11:15

After this fiasco, probably a good thing.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 11:13

Are you recommending we ditch Parliament and move to some kind of Presidential system?

[gcom2] 03/11/2016 11:10

so, a Scotsman's vote is worth more than an englishman's vote.
It was supposed be a national referendum., obviously not.
