Immigration’s Effect on Future Workforces

There's an awful lot riding on 'good will' on both sides (UK/EU). UK parliament is conflicted in equal measure at this stage. So 40 hours of debate until 'the deal' is put to the 'meaningful vote'. An amendment has already been voted into the debate ...

UK Parl’t Votes That Govt Is In Contempt Over Brexit Legal Advice - Orders It To Publish...

UK government may have been in contempt of Parliament by not publishing Brexit legal advice,...

There's a lot of 'grandstanding' going on. One thing's for sure this, this will be the last parliament some of these UK MPs will be attending. Those will be the ones that pitch too earnestly either way in 5 days of debate. Much foolishness and ...

UK Government defeated in Parliament, lawmakers vote to give Parliament more power over next...

UK PM May says I will still have a job in two weeks time

Stunned Parisians clean up posh central district after worst riots since 1968

The pros and cons of what will actually happen remain uncertain. The UK in or out will do fine once the process has been concluded. Far too much emphasis on political partisanship and doom mongering - the people have had enough of it. We're at the ...

GBP/USD Weekly Forecast: US Dollar weakness can save Sterling from testing new 2018 lows
