"The European Union is preparing to offer the UK a trade deal on tougher terms than its deals with Canada, Japan and a host of other leading trade partners, the Telegraph has learned"

Just what you'd expect from competent negotiators. They'll pull back to what Canada's got, of course, but on the way they'll hope to extract some concessions.

Luckily we now also have competent negotiators on our side.

It doesn't matter who replaces him.

Traditional Labour voters now think the Tories stand for them and with Murdoch and his sons exercising control of the papers and Cummings and his nerds sorting out the algorithms on social networks it will not change.

The plutocrats by proxy have the puppets exactly where they want them.

Corby might be bad, but look at what is coming to replace him.

Johnson lost another vote on his Brexit bill in the unelected House of Lords on Tuesday, with peers voting to reinsert a provision to protect child refugees after Brexit. On Monday, the Lords voted three times against government plans.

"However, the upper house has no power to force its views into legislation, and Johnson’s spokesman confirmed that he does not intend to accept any amendments"


And nor should he.

Time to reform / abolish the House of Lords for sure.

Perhaps do it alongside taking a hatchet to the BBC.

"The number of people in work in the U.K. surged by 208,000, the most in almost a year and double the market forecast"

"The jobless rate held at a four-decade low of 3.8%"

#DespiteBrexit

4 DECADE LOW!!!!!!



"Nevertheless, observers still believe a reduction in interest rates is more likely than not later this month"

Odds on - global growth is slowing despite the shed loads of cash thrown at it!!!

Thanks for your post, mr lb and an interesting explanation of what you meant by your "half-educated PI's" comment: I took it originally as intellectual snobbery, something which makes my hackles rise but it now reads quite differently, so apologies.

Unfortunately, we are saddled with the bots now and just have to factor them in. Also known unknowns like the unpredictable encumbent in the White House, who can move markets with a bout of indigestion, Brexit, weather extremes, viruses in the Far East or Foot and Mouth disease in UK.

Not sure I agree with you about Lloy being a widows and orphans number, though - or even if there is such a thing any more but I am long Lloyds, nevertheless.

Will take another look at Mobius.

If you want people to read your posts stonedyou, stop putting asterisks in them. It really makes you seem like a real thick diddlo.

Boris calls the EU our friends, because they are our friends and it would be silly not to realise that we need them just as much as they need us.

I just hope that Boris doesn't write to them using asterisks where they do not apply.

Education is so important!!!
