Wonder what Dominique Strauss-Kahn is doing these days.

Lagarde to succeed Draghi as ECB chief amid weakening economy

The point is this: it’s gone beyond being about Brexit and is increasingly a power struggle about democracy and who really rules the country - the Remainer majority in Parliament or the people they were supposed to represent. When you ask a question ...

The Only Way Out of This Brexit Mess

This reads like it was written by someone who’s never been to England. A fatal misunderstanding: Brexiteers don’t care about a deal after three years of being fobbed off - they just want out and to hell with the consequences. The reason the Tories ...

Lesson 1: we can never raise interest rates again Lessons 2&3: see Lesson 1

Ramsden: Three lessons from the financial crisis

Really suspecting that the PM is a secret Faragist at this point. Awaiting the results of tomorrow’s election with interest - Tories in single figures would be hilarious.

Labour Brexit Spokesman: PM May Should Cancel The Vote On Her Brexit Deal

Public confidence is not coming back to the Tories anytime soon - their base has departed to the Brexit Party en masse.

PM May has not set date for her departure but is scheduled to meet 1922 Committee Chair Brady

And yet it was good enough on (after!) the way in. Nope, you got me there, I got nothing...

May: 'profoundly disagree' with calls for second referendum

Irving Fisher (economist), speaking in 1929

Kudlow says interest rates may never rise again in his lifetime

Some of you guys don't get it. Globalisation and open borders may be beneficial to the economy overall, but those benefits have been very unevenly spread. The guys at the top are doing great - basically London and the other cities to a lesser ...

Theresa May could be in Downing Street for rest of the year because she won’t quit until MPs...

Accept it, slaves? Well this is rather the thing: the seismic forces that led to the Brexit vote and lets gilets jaunes among other slave revolts you may have heard about... haven't gone away in the meantime. Cancelling A50 will do nothing to change ...

Theresa May could be in Downing Street for rest of the year because she won’t quit until MPs...

I am now firmly of the conviction that TPTB will never let it happen in any real sense, barring something cosmic. Parliament has zero motivation to sign the WA now. Just waiting for them to summon the balls to revoke A50.

Theresa May could be in Downing Street for rest of the year because she won’t quit until MPs...

I think a lot of traders are just hypnotised by the market reaction of any sign that Brexit might be off => GBP up

Andrea Leadsom: no-deal Brexit next week would not be so grim

I was merely reposting the headline - feel free to take it up with ZH if you have a problem. While not a 50% majority, more people this week expressed a preference for no deal than remain, which is the main takeaway. The 2016 referendum was crystal ...

UK PM May has plan to offer Labour Brexit customs arrangement: Sunday Times

USA embarrassing themselves on this one. Some speculation that they are about to hang the puppet Guaido out to dry. Note also that Trump has distanced himself from the whole enterprise - it’s only ever Pence parping on about this..

Nicolas Maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power, and Nicolas Maduro must go!

Yup, they really would earn my undying admiration. Both Brexiteers and Remainers wish for EU to save UK albeit in rather different ways. Ironic, as you say.

Brexit: UK asks EU for further extension until 30 June

The EU said they won’t renegotiate - they are treating it as an administrative/legal exercise, not a political one, which makes sense from their side. Anyway, the word is that she will try AGAIN next week. Having lost by 230, 149 and now just 58 ...

What next after PM May's third Brexit defeat

Death knell? Word is it’ll be back next week 😄

Death knell for May's Brexit deal: lawmakers reject it 344 to 286

Thanks, Mario He makes the common argument in favour of the EU - we are stronger together. And that may be true in so far as it goes. But the whole reason for Brexit, les gilets jaunes, troubles-never-far-away in the PIIGS etc and so on is ...
