Keep an eye on Italy. (I did) One for you Tux as you seem up on this stuff. Financial Times is reporting that the markets in Italy and Spain are in a bit of turmoil investors are dumping bonds. (sorry no link) Sounds like its concerns over politics and the economy. I hope this is a temporary blip because it doesn't help anyone if Italy or Spain do a Greece, we all suffer in some way.

Still not convinced that clean Brexit break will happen. The Cabinet is clearly torn in half regarding where to go....much like the rest of Parliament. I wonder how many Brexiteers voted for a minimum £40+bn EU divorce bill? Finally, I feel that this is much more about Bojo and Michael Gove's political aspirations than it is about truly serving 'the will of the people'. Bojo would love to be sacked so that he could establish leadership campaign against Theresa - he'd love to be imagined as the firefighter coming in to deal with the Brexit blaze...when all along he has been the arsonist.

The Electoral Commission has been given funds for next year's European elections even though we will have left by then. They say this is a contingency and they do not expect to spend the money. It's a pity that David Cameron didn't have the same foresight and made contingency plans in the unlikely event that the UK voted to leave. Much could have been accomplished if the civil servants had started their planning before the referendum. When I worked at Barclays we created contingency plans for the UK joining the euro, Greece leaving the euro various other countries joining the EU or the euro. It was just commonsense. I don't think there is anything sinister in this although the papers are trying to spin it that way. There again JRM buying property in London means he is launching a campaign to oust the PM! I think the silly season has arrived early. Edited by Badger11 (27 May 2018 10.13am)

Difficult at the moment to seperate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to Brexit. The EU have form for saying one thing behind closed doors and then spinning it in completely the opposite way to the press. The EU want to keep us in the fold for a variety of reasons and helping fuel chaos is one way of them achieving it. June is a key month here and I suspect that by the end of it, we may have at least a semblence of a clearer picture but my gut instinct is that it boils down to money. And Italy. That is the real challenge for the EU at the moment.
