It seems like every few days there's a similar post by JF on the same tiring subject and the same usual responses. So what if Johnson says this or that - it might wash with Tory voters, but at the end of the day if he stuck to a no-deal, he would be ousted from a PM role by parliament and a GE called.

 

Without a doubt, a no-deal brexit would cause irreplacable damage to the UK economy and the pound would materially devalue overnight. No UK parliament would sanction that. it just ain't going to happen.

 

If Johnson aims to leave, he'll have to get the WAG past parliament, and if it's not the ideal deal, that's Tough Teety. Accept it, and hope the government gets on with trying to repair the backlash situation that brexit would cause. As for moving forward, that's another cloud cuckoo-land ideological scenario with no realistic ending or reality built in.    

 

 

 

 

 

"If Johnson aims to leave, he'll have to get the WAG past parliament, and if it's not the ideal deal, that's Tough Teety."

 

You're seriously think and hope that the eu/may surrender treaty will be passed by the uk parliament?

 

Silly question, of course you do......

 

Edit - To look on the bright side, even brit. remainers recognise the surrender treaty as the worst possible option!

The main issue should not be about trade, because the UK has numerous existing trade deals in place, that are comprehensive enough to keep the UK populous in candy for the rest of their natural, including goods from China and the US now sold in the UK.

 

It's a total red herring advanced by ERG extremists like Rees-Mogg, whose only rationale is that they would make money from their emerging markets hedge funds if the Uk had to seek trades from these economies.  Bottom line it's financial politics at play, here.

Of course the "main issue" should be about trade, which is why so many of us are wondering why both the uk and eu govts. are putting this at the bottom of the 'negotiating ????' list.....

"Let me tell you, there are abundant, abundant technical fixes that can be introduced to make sure that you don't have to have checks at the border," Johnson said

 

Ok Boris. Name the companies that have such a technology, and are able to build something in 130 days. Also the timeline for coordinating discussions with Ireland and the EU. Also information about the investment costs and cost allocations would be nice. Also information about the personal needs and training times for the operator staff.

 

Otherwise, it is only hot propaganda air al a Boris. I just can not believe that the majority of Britons believe his gibberish.

I think a No Deal scenario is pretty much built into the value now. It's become increasingly likely and FX markets don't tend to wait until the day the event happens.

 

There is room for maybe a max of 10% more devaluation in my opinion. UK exports will be fantastically competitive for a few months (it will be a great time to buy the already seriously undervalued pound) and then when everyone realizes that the sky hasn't fallen and that the UK can successfully operate as a sovereign state it will start to regain the losses that Project Fear and a dysfunctional Parliament has so greatly contributed to.

 

Remember, it's the uncertainty that is causing the weak pound, not Brexit. Brexit has not happened yet.  

'Leaving the eu' was the reason why sterling crashed within the first 24 hours.  Not something appreciated or expected by the money markets.

 

Why has sterling further since?  Install your own reason ????.

On the other hand the FTSE experienced a slight dip but subsequently powered ahead

Not a scholar of form then.

 

He’s had seven failed attempts to enter Parliament as an MP, and hid in the toilets at Peterborough when it became clear that 43,000 former Leave voters had gone AWOL.

 

Friendly advice, don’t bet with money you can’t afford to loose.

"Friendly advice, don’t bet with money you can’t afford to loose."

 

Why do you so frequently resort to (misspelt) insults?

Some people are hoping that the UK will be brought to it's knees, those people don't know the UK.

The EU hopes for sure, as said they will not negotiate further on TM deal so all that's left is a no deal leave in Oct '19 and Germany will just have to take bigger burden on there shoulders, looks like Italy is Germany's next headache.

Trump can have financial war so can Boris, no deal no money, thats handy suit's me. ???? 

No time elections Boris just stall it.

The amount of internet chatter every time Boris Johnsons name or a new thread is started is a sure indication that remainers are very worried about his capabilities.

Perhaps you can post something of substance, rather than nothing other than insults directed against those with whom you disagree?

 

But then again, perhaps not as your first sentence contradicts itself.....

No there just trying to identify if he has even one capability worthy of note.

You mean like why Johnson will not do head to head interview with Hunt until most Tory member will have already voted.

I think you are right, Carrie Symonds will ditch Boris the loser as soon as Hunt becomes selected as PM. She can then take some time out to refurbish her home that Boris wrecked.

So Johnson thinks the EU will blink when he shows he's willing to play the no deal card. From statements by leading figures in the French, Dutch and Irish governments the last few months that belief seems to be mistaken. In addition, there have been repeated assertions by EU leaders that the deal offered to May was not open to further negotiation.

Because 80% of the investments on the stock exchange arn't based in the UK. Therefore, the stock exchange fluctuations are based more on the global economy than the UK economy. Also a drop of 1200 points in the 6 months after the vote is hardly a "slight dip".

Added to which the earnings overseas are at a higher relative value against a falling pound. Hence the stock price is higher when priced on the FTSE as the pound slides.

Quite.  Learning that nearly 30% of the Peterborough votes were postal votes - certainly shocked me!

Ol' Stomper keeps banging that drum not realising a legal challenge was very publicly launched yesterday that will turn the result on its head.
