UK Parliament to seek Brexit delay

Britain's Parliament has voted to delay Brexit, although the other 27 EU nations must formally agree to postpone it. The split is due to happen on March 29, but Theresa May will now ask whether this can be extended to June 30. Chances are she'll ask at next week's EU summit. Conditions are attached, however, and there's still a possibility that Brexit could take a completely different course. https://lnkd.in/d6zVRFq

Not since the Great Smog of 1952 has London been shrouded in such dismal gloom. Whatever path is taken, it will take years for the economic poison of Brexit to clear. My column for Bloomberg Opinion.

The pound is, of course, see-sawing at every vote and every hope that is made or dashed that Britain won't crash out of the EU without a deal. While MPs voted against a no-deal Brexit, it's still a distinct possibility. #brexit #business https://lnkd.in/eSEtphK

"Cack-handed" — The Institute of Directors A "circus" — CBI (Confederation of British Industry) "Confidence is almost gone" — Food and Drink Federation "An own goal of historic proportions" — TheCityUK "Businesses have been failed over and over again" — British Chambers of Commerce Business groups are fuming after last night's #Brexit vote & don't think much of today's tariff proposals either. #business #EU #politics #management #industry #trade #economy #ukeconomy

Well, Im guessing thats an extension of Article 50 coming up tomorrow then? ￡40 Billion of taxpayers hard-earned cash wasted in just over 2 years of utterly inept government (on all sides of the house) . And the sad thing is that we will probably blow through twice that amount in the coming years as well. In the meantime, Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) will continue to be spread and UK and Irish business pays the price. Time to change our political system. Time to require politicians come from industry and commerce backgrounds. Ban the career politicians and lets get folk in with mud on their trousers. https://lnkd.in/eMgHpK5
