Referendum ; this deal or remain.

Why is this deal so good when it is effectively the May deal, which was repeatedly slated by all and sundry, with a revised arrangement for NI.

Labour MP Ronnie Campbell says he will probably vote for the deal - but then again, he is standing down at the next election.

If 'all possible deals' are unacceptable, including 'no deal', then perhaps that indicates that the whole thing was a stupid idea to start with.

More likely an extension, no further progress, then GE.

Always has been.

"'No deal' is better than a bad deal".

They rejected an October GE because BoJo could have gerrymandered the date once Parliament had been dissolved, and we would get 'no deal' by default, before the poll.

"Pound Sterling rallied after the EU and UK finally sealed a Brexit deal, but the currency subsequently sunk again as it dawned on foreign exchange markets the deal will be dead on arrival at Westminster." https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/gbp-live-today/12235-brexit-deal-done-pound-sterling-rallies-vs-euro-and-dollar-on-breakthrough

You cannot make a silk purse from a sow's ear.

The last time Junckers opposed the UK they were painted in Luftwaffe colours. ( One for the hard line Brexiteers ).

It is fundamentally the same deal, with some fudging of the Irish problem. There hasn't been time to unpick most of what took months to negotiate, so they have painted the despised 'backstop' in pretty colours in the hope that it sneaks past. Unfortunately the DUP noticed, and won't play along. If only Teresa hadn't called her General Election.

How much of Teresa May's "surrender treaty" is still in there ?

Don't p!ss on your own doorstep.

The £UK has fallen against the $US and the €Euro, I wonder if GM will find a graph for us.

No they didn't.

You really are a special kind of something.

Writing a suite of music about an armour plated armadillo that hatches from an egg under an erupting volcano, then fights a series of battles before finally diving, critically wounded, into the water and becoming aquatic. Genius ( I think ).

Wouldn't that also apply to any rules or regulations we have to introduce under any future FTA, eg with the USA ?

Well now, BoJo has finally won a Commons vote ! The Environment (Legislative Functions from Directives) regulations 2019 bill passed yesterday evening, and the deputy speaker commented on this "unique event".

When will it get back up to where it was in May ?

It will be a ready made front page excuse/scapegoat for the slighest bit of adverse financial news, or the reason/justification for any slight glint of positive indicators.
