I think Boris is playing the shrewdie here, he may or may not have won a divisive election, most likely he wouldnât have. Defeat would have left him in the wilderness. Now he can mop up after whatever poor sod gets the impossible job of negotiating Brexit and keep sniping from the cheap seats.
Real possibility May who didnât want to leave, will be left cleaning up the mess now. Some commentary that a victory for her could stall Brexit but thatâs just a bigger shit show. It either happens or it doesnât
Bigging up her claims to have a track record in delivering in negotiations in Europe, she followed on with:
âOther people have also negotiated in Europe, Boris has negotiated in Europe, I seem to recall that last time he negotiated with the Germans he came back with three nearly new water cannons.â
Interesting fact of the day:
No initial favourite in an election for the leadership of the conservative party has ever won since the conservatives reformed their election process in the 1960âs.
Carney just referenced âeconomic post traumatic stress disorderâ as he announced economic stimulus may be needed this summer. Sterling collapsing again after the ârallyâ yesterday.
Carney mugged off the Leavers good and proper there.
Responding to call from Farage et al for him to resign, he asked the entire room (regarding the conclusions of the 15 independent experts that there would be a major economic shock);
âDoes anyone in the room think we were wrong about those risks that have now begun to manifestâ
Himself and Osbourne have really taken the âI told you soâ line so far, good on them tbh
The FTSE is up 3% this quarter, while the rest of the EU is down at least 5%. The DAX is down 7% this quarter. The market disagrees with Mark Carney and the âexpertsâ. The market is generally right and what it is saying is Brexit will be good for the UK and bad for Germany and the rest of the EU.
