This is quite something. 26 Tory MPs voted against Theresa May - including some big name loyalists; former ministers Damian Green, Sir Michael Fallon, Richard Benyon, Sir Oliver Letwin, Sir Nicholas Soames, Oliver Heald, Nick Boles and Ed Vaizey.

Pretty stubborn @ 55p ish for a while and a negative day all round - hoping that's a good sign ????

May sounding good today.

Corbyn sounding rubbish.

Dow down 650 points in USA.

Whilst we are cutting our own throats with Brexit,
the reality of economics may bite us.
A World economic collapse, in or out of the EU, will shock us back into reality.
And the danger signs are there.

Brexit may become a trivial side show, we may soon have something to really worry about.
I wondered how this would end, all of a sudden it looks clearer.

LYG has been hit hard.

When we closed, NY had LYG around $2.83 and it was quickly sold down to $2.73, currently $2.76. Let's see where it closes.

I believe Polar Fox rather than Alphorn has the detail right.

Astonishingly, even after the second vote, Mrs Leadsom's first response was to fall back on the line rejected in the first vote. All that is promised for tomorrow is a statement.

The whole bloody farce is about as genuine as a wrestling match with Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks.

I think Corbyn would be a disaster.
But I do not underestimate him.
His manifesto for the next election will be much more middle ground than you expect.
He dresses smarter these days, he has adapted.

And he will take the popular position on Europe whatever that may be at the time.
He has cleverly not committed himself to any position.
The tories have painted themselves into a corner, no wriggle room.

Corbyn is a shrewd street fighter.

Maybe the country will think it is time to give a new cabinet the power. A cabinet whose claim to fame is more than being members of the Oxford or Cambridge Union debating societies.

May must go at all costs. As for Corbyn being fav to be PM, the bookies actually are taking bets both May and Corbyn being gone by the next election.

Who could vote for Corbyn, he is clueless. Who? a few dipso's on here who lean to the left while boasting of their Capitalist ventures.

May's plan was always to fudge and time waste

A second referendum will be called as part of her plan ... to assuage the UK electorate

The exact wording of the referendum vote will be great to read

[maxk] 04/12/2018 18:28

The tory party opted to commit suicide when they appointed May.

She is disaster on wheels with anything she touches.

You need look no further than the last election manifesto, almost designed to fail.

[xxxxxy] 04/12/2018 18:22

Maybe a good buying opportunity soonish. Again.

Plant seed for a harvest. Hopefully a good one. Maybe mid ish 3019

[careful] 04/12/2018 18:18

The Tory party are committing suicide right now.
I wonder if they will see the danger and pull together.

It is sickening the way the likes of Boris Johnson will do anything to get to power, and if he should succeed he would call for unity.

But the tories have an instinct for survival, they could see sense in time.

Tuesday vote fails, new referendum, vote IN, go home.

Ignore the morons throwing toys out of prams. What are they going to do about it? Democracy is a process, not a snap-shot in time. When are you going to learn these things? You are grown men, or supposed to be. Here is the lesson, stop reading that sh%t in the tabloids, and listening to idiots like Boris, and scum like Farage. Become a man of values, become open-minded, progressive, forward-thinking, rather than the neanderthal who is worried about the stranger who has just walked into your cave and wants a say on whether to put another stick on your fire.

[buywell3] 04/12/2018 18:11

One wonders if she had played this as people voted ie to leave the EU

Plain and simple ... no divorce bill ... WTO trade ... termed a hard Brexit by the remainers

If she had done this from the start of negotiations

So that UK Business knew where they stood and could make concrete plans for a straight 2 years

I wonder what price LLOY would be tomorrow ?

[buywell3] 04/12/2018 18:08

May's treatment of the UK voters is going to shoot her in the foot

LLOY also looks like testing 52.5p again tomorrow

50p then looms large as her date with destiny approaches but fast

[patientcapital] 04/12/2018 18:03

I suppose it's 6 o'clock somewhere.

[minerve] 04/12/2018 18:01

Let's have another vote. Stop this nonsense. University kids will be mobilised, including those on Erasmus, to vote stay IN, and get back to a decent life without giving the f%cking idiots any more attention. If they want to be f%cking idiots, let them be, but with their own miserable lives.

[minerve] 04/12/2018 17:56

If anyone thinks I'm watching C4 news with signing for the deaf again they can forget it. Very annoying. I sympathise with the deaf but I don't want to be treated like one. Need a special channel like the BBC red button. The guy signing last night looked like he was sat on Krishnan's knee! LOL!

[xxxxxy] 04/12/2018 17:55

Democracy enriches all mostly.

[minerve] 04/12/2018 17:50

Anyone still think the system we live in is great? ROFLMAO!

Brexit is f%cked. So is modern capitalism. You can't have sustainable capitalism WITHOUT some socialism. Morons will never learn this fundamental concept in life.

[polar fox] 04/12/2018 17:49

MPs have just voted to give the HoC more say if the deal is voted down next week.

[1carus] 04/12/2018 17:47

PF I was listening to the debate also. I took it that the matter was to go to the Committee of Privileges first, and the government would give the timetable for the information. The speaker stressed that it should be resolved well before the meaningful vote on the 11th. Beyond the current pantomime the contempt issue and the way it has been raised clearly has huge ramifications.. from what has been said today the committee should instruct the government what they should release and also how and who to. There may also be obligations for the recipients of the information.

[patientcapital] 04/12/2018 17:36

Back to serious business at Tattersalls. Just missed one at 2.2m guineas.

[polar fox] 04/12/2018 17:33

Keir Starmer has just said live on the BBC, that the gov't has not yet committed to publishing the legal advice tomorrow. He is currently waiting for a statement from the gov't tomorrow.

[patientcapital] 04/12/2018 17:32

Sets a dangerous precedent.
