Nearly half of banks policy makers expected to vote for a rate cut on Friday.

It would have been better if the Supreme court had said in both cases they were not matters for a court but matters for Parliament to resolve, or a for a General election to settle.

As the High Court correctly did in the case of the prorogation.

How you deal with this while preserving the independence of the judiciary is very hard to say. In the past Parliament has sent troops to remind the courts forcibly that their main function is to administer the law, not to make it.

Constitutional change?By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 26, 2020I will soon be submitting some thoughts to the government on possible constitutional reform.The last Parliament submitted our constitution to a battering, as an alliance of MPs from all the Opposition parties aided by a few Conservatives who subsequently left the party worked with the Speaker and the law courts to delay or prevent Brexit. In acting in this way they opposed the decision of the majority in the referendum which most of them had previously pledged to honour. The Labour and former Conservative ones  also reneged on or redefined their promise to see Brexit through, made to win the 2017 election.The main issues that arise include:Fixed Term Parliament ActThis became a major problem, preventing a government from  holding an early election to resolve the tensions Parliament could not sort out. The Act also showed it was eventually meaningless, as we held three elections in four years under a law designed to limit elections to once every five years.It should be repealed, leaving the power to hold an election at any time up to 5 years in the hands of the majority in the Commons. The Commons needs to have this option, as it also has the option of expressing or withdrawing confidence in any given government.Powers of the courts to settle political and Parliamentary issuesThe decision of the Supreme Court to delay Brexit by nine months  to require an Act of Parliament prior to sending  a letter necessitated by the referendum result was unhelpful and very costly to the country.The decision of the Supreme Court to prevent a prorogation of Parliament which was only slightly longer than the normal September recess was seen by many as  a partisan decision as it was designed to allow those who wanted to stop Brexit more time to debate and vote on it.These two decisions were damaging to our constitution. It is most important most people more of the time believe in the impartiality of the court system and believe the judgements are fair and reasonable.  Major issues of constitutional significance need to be decided by Parliament so both sides can put their case and the decision is made by majority vote, reflecting the votes of the people in a previous election.These decisions were seen by many Brexiteers as being decisions to delay or prevent Brexit, however good the legal reasoning . It would have been better if the Supreme court had said in both cases they were not matters for a court but matters for Parliament to resolve, or a for a General election to settle.The respective roles of  government, Parliament and courts in prerogative matters needs clarifying, with more protection of the courts by removing their competence in matters relating to how Parliament conducts its business or how government with Parliament  undertakes its Treaty roles and international negotiations.

Advertising campaign will declare Brexit Britain 'ready to trade'







Patrick Sawer, senior news reporter
25 JANUARY 2020 • 10:30PM



The Government is to mark the first day of Britain’s departure from the European Union with the launch of an international advertising campaign telling foreign businesses the UK is “ready to trade” with them.

The new ‘Ready to Trade’ campaign will be launched with posters and billboards in 17 cities across 13 countries outside the EU on February 1, the day after Brexit day.

Downing Street says the campaign “seeks to deepen our relationships with future global partners” and features striking images of the union flag, including red, white and blue container units on a freight ship.

An advertising campaign will also be launched in the UK tomorrow, with the message ‘This Friday the UK leaves the EU’, urging businesses here to check for any changes they need to make ahead of January 2021, when the Brexit transition period comes to an end.
