Fair and reasonable:

What do these clowns (both sides) know about fair and reasonable?

Most do not have any commercial experience, what chance do you have?

[leedskier] 29/11/2017 09:43

Uncle Arthur, the terms on which we leave have yet to be finally determined. Having conceded on the cash to be paid, HMG will now have to concede on other issues as well.

Hotel California rules may yet apply on a host of issues including free movement, ECHR and European legislation.

Who cares how much it costs. We are getting out

I used to negotiate settlements. Not of course running into £billions, but certainly into £millions.Often for HMG.

My style of negotiating was simple. Those I negotiated with knew it.

I would make one offer. It would be a fair and reasonable sum. It almost invariably was accepted.

Davis made a complete mess of it by making an initial offer which he knew would not be accepted. Once he started increasing the sum on offer, he was burnt toast.

It's actually not a lot of money when one considers the present value of all the future non payments of £12bn plus a year - and bearing in mind half this payment will cover the transitional trading period when things will remain the same

[maxk] 29/11/2017 08:36

4-5 years worth of subs, and that's before the €uro army gets going (who is going to pay for it?)

It's a lot of money for sure, but worth it to rid ourselves of the rest of the baggage.

As long as there are no Klingons attached.

UK banks can weather chaotic Brexit but RBS and Barclays in worst shape, says Bank of England



By Iain Withers
28 November 2017 • 7:16am




Britain's major lenders are robust enough to survive a chaotic Brexit but the Government must act quickly to minimise disruption to trillions of pounds of financial transactions with EU institutions, the Bank of England has said.

Regulators on Threadneedle Street gave the UK's seven biggest banks a largely clean bill of health after subjecting them to their toughest 'doomsday' round of annual stress tests yet.

The extreme scenario included a slump in both world and UK GDP, a dive in the value of the pound and house prices falling by a third.

All but two lenders passed. However RBS and Barclays failed to clear the higher so-called 'systemic' hurdle set by the Bank.

In mitigation the Bank pointed out the tests used the two banks' capital positions as of the end of last year as a starting point. It said if it re-ran the tests today using their improved capital buffers, both would now pass, although Barclays would have the least wriggle room.

As a result, for the first time since starting the stress tests in 2014, the Bank did not demand any of the banks improve their capital positions.

However the dividend policies of all seven banks will again come into sharp focus. The report showed that in the stress test scenario all but Nationwide would stop paying out a dividend within three years, and the building society would pay out just £100m.



While this year's stress test did not explicitly model a 'hard Brexit' scenario, the Bank said it was sufficiently severe to give it confidence the UK's financial system would keep lending to the real economy even in a disorderly exit from the EU.

RBS fail test but don't need to generate extra capital.Not sure what has been factored in for the DOJ fine

[ramco] 27/11/2017 17:29

and the DOJ is inundated on all fronts in internal affairs which are quite frankly much bigger fish to fry in relative terms..AT&T's (NYSE: T)
planned $85 billion acquisition of Time
Warner (NYSE: TWX) an example of a case in point there are many many more, lets hope that the new year brings the matter to a head the earlier the better...;)

[raffles the gentleman thug] 27/11/2017 16:46

Outcome of stress test tomorrow for RBS is frankly irrelevant without knowing magnitude of DoJ fine
