So if you are going to lose an election boycott it and then claim the result was unrepresentative.

Depends if it's been ratified and is likely to be recognised by any powers that be - or not as is the case in this instance.

The Odinga ploy.

This.

 

Neither 'side' covered themselves in glory.

At least the Scottish independence vote was agreed by all and the result accepted. Democracy in action.

The Odinga ploy.

That's a chargeable extra in the better class of brothel.

Mr Davis suggesting that the Brexit withdrawal agreement will probably favour the EU.........I don't think there is any "probably" about it

 

 

 

The withdrawal agreement, on balance, will probably favour the [European] union in terms of things like money and so on. Whereas the future relationship will favour both sides and will be important to both of us

 

I'm assuming that means that we're admitting that we're about to be stung with a pretty large divorce bill, and we'll be paying it

This is good news, now our politicians are being a bit more honest and realistic and starting to manage the expectations of the public, they might actually be able to start to reach an agreement to move forward and get this whole episode done and finished.

BOE saying the UK could lose 75000 finance jobs

BOE saying the UK could lose 75000 finance jobs

They might get a prediction right one day. Apparently the oil industry has lost 220k jobs and no ones batted an eyelid.

 saying UP TO 75,000.

 

25,000 is within the meaning of up to 75, 000, and so is 3.

75000 is part of their reasonable forecast so not a doomsday thing.

In the event of "no deal"

 

HSBC are saying less than 1,000 of theirs, UBS are saying the worst case scenario of 1,000 is looking unklikely

Yep, shit loads. I work in the property finance sector and it's totally unrecognisable to 10 years ago. The City is a funny old beast.

But on the plus side, and going someone way to counter finance job losses, 8000 more Whitehall civil servants to deal with the admin.

Every cloud

Interest rates have doubled in a day

Aye, a 100% increase doesn't occur too often. Or does it?

Pound also down by 1.25 %

Dunno, but they halved last year!

i love interest rate rises

 

us savers need some gravy

When we got our mortgage about 11 years I insisted on a fixed. Herwhoknowsbetter said get a base rate tracker at .25% above BOE base rate.

 

I told if rates started going up I would blame her. I rang at lunchtime and gave her some shit. First raise in all that time. £32.50 per month it will cost me.

Aye, fixed mortgage rates and extra bunts on the savings  -  what's not to like, here's hoping there's another one coming very soon
