The deal is not a victory, it’s not being fully supported so hardly a victory. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk You get to leave the EU, which is what you voted for - that's if it's passed by parliament. Link to post Share on other sites
Basil B 11,518 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Today the day of arm twisting... Tomorrow the the day of reckoning... Well we will know just how desperate Johnson is by the amount of arm twisting, and he does not have the option that May had of postponing the Meaningful Vote. Link to post Share on other sites

Leave with no deal and we will quickly earn that title again. What are you on about? Link to post Share on other sites

It went down again when the DUP said they won't support it. Analysts crunching the numbers don't think his 'great new deal' will make it through parliament, neither does the EU, parting words to BJ in Brussels was apparently, "See you next week". 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The 'grapevine contacts' was as active then as probably it is today - but today's market is one of getting your oar in quickest using the latest technology, also. I would suggest that the HoC is a fountain of knowledge as to how situations are resolved and the likelihood of that happening well before the media gets their greasy paws on it. Bit like a poll, really. I would say, right now, that johnson has an outside chance of gaining approval of his deal - if he doesn't, expect an early GE, cos now the deal is in place, he ain't going to accept a second referendum. Algorithms still hanging on the vine though. Link to post Share on other sites

And it gives the island of Ireland the chance to keep all as it is for now , and possible becomes one in future if wished . But to get this done & voted in H.O.C is another case.... short summary of the deal Deal.pdf 481.45 kB · 1 download It's a short summary of the revision. The "deal" is remains the bulk of the withdrawal agreement (treaty) that May pushed 3x and failed with. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Oanda has it at just over 38.8 to the ThB. krungsri on-line 38.51. In Jan-May this year it was between 40-42. Stellar 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a few % points fluctuating on Live Rates but Oanda show it as a straight increase. What source are you using? Link to post Share on other sites
