    Looking like Tory mps (the ERG lot) are going to cave in and back this clusterfuk of a deal, all hope remains with the DUP to have it voted down but even that might not be enough as some Labour mps will back the deal.

    Theresa May has called for MPs to “come together” to back her deal after claiming to have secured the legally binding changes

    Even after the EU refused to negotiate further, it's quite unbelievable Maybot will openly lie in order to trick parliament into voting for the same old deal already rejected.

    English, that's what they do, publicly lie into your face and expecting you to believe them, without batting an eyelash

    it's a test to see how dumb and gullible you are

    Juncker has said "there will not be a third time"

    I hope it is a failure but at the moment looking like success for Doris, a lot will depend on the Atorney Generals speech later.

    Moog is having a meeting with his appointed lawyers in 10 mins time who will tell him if the changes are real and legally binding.
    But, he said it's very odd they were only given the detail of the changes late last night, almost like someone is trying to avoid scrutiny before the vote.

    Hopefully she hasn't timed this vote hoping to emulate Pelosi with, 'if you want to know what's in it you have to vote for it'.

    Fingers, legs and eyes crossed that Brit MPs will resoundingly reject whatever shit wording she uses to mask the same crap deal with a different cover. Must be the same deal, after all, since the EU gods have been consistent and adamant that they have nothing better to offer, right?

    The 'no deal' scenario is a managed deal where a lot of the work has already been done. Once we leave, on the 29th, we can then ask the EU what they will sell to us - we have 39 billion to spend, but we expect value for money...
    Great, can you contact the 275 firms and ask them to bring back the £1 trillion of assets, there is no cliff edge it was just some Soros funded cliches, and make a complaint to the CBI and the business section of the Telegraph that they also got it wrong.

    It doesn't matter what they are only what they are worth and the reason they were moved from the UK to the EU.

    You do know what the word asset actually means Buriramboy?

    Bloody stupid Yermans, fancy opening Europe's largest Merc showrooms on a sinking island, can't imagine why they expect sickly and starving people to buy motor cars! A bakery would be more suited to conditions, if HMgov could secure a few sacks of flour.

    I think you should tell them not to throw money away, Europe will be needing it!

    So you haven't got a clue what they are then, just saw a headline without bothering to read and understand the full article. Some things never change.

    Struggling with basic reading comprehension again Jabir?

    The company in question is Chinese the name kind of gives it away: Lei Shing Hong Automobile Limited, ...and as of yet the showroom doesn't exist, although it isn't much of a surprise the Chinese are interested to pick up derelict sites in the UK at rock bottom prices...due to the weak pound...due to Brexit.

    For the 2nd time now, it doesn't matter what they are because I know the meaning of word asset and I know the assets in question are worth( £1 trillion ) and I know the reason why these assets are being moved from the UK to the EU( Because of Brexit ).

    Following your logic a 100kg of spanners must be somehow heavier than 100kg of feathers when it fact it doesn't matter what the item is, the only thing of importance is that it weighs a 100kg


    asset​

    something valuable belonging to a person or organization that can be used for the payment of debts



    In the world of business and finance they don't care what assets are, only what they are worth ...which is why the word asset is used.

    How things change by the hour, may still be hope of saving Brexit and voting down Doris clusterfuk deal now that the Attorney General has just basically said nothing has changed in reference to Doris supposed concessions from Drunker yesterday.

    You're clearly not up to date with what's going on. Yesterday Doris went to meet Junker to try and get some concessions on the back stop which would ensure her deal got voted through today and we would therfor Brexit in name only. She was sure she had got these concessions and Tory mps have been praising her all morning saying they will vote for the deal even Brexiteers. Then the AG comes out and doesn't say what Doris was hoping he would say and instead says nothing has changed and we still have no way out the backstop unless the EU agree. So from a few hours ago looking like Doris would get her clusterfuk deal through its game on again.

    Pound Tumbles As Attorney General Trashes May's Last-Minute Deal With EU


    "Update: And here's the final nail in the coffin for May's Brexit deal.

    After striking a surprisingly conciliatory tone last night, ERG leader Jacob Rees-Mogg, effectively the leader of the Brexiteer faction in Parliament, has savaged May's deal: "The unilateral declaration doesn’t add anything because it simply says we could ask to leave the backstop.

    We have always been able to ask to leave the backstop.
    That is not in any sense an improvement or a development."

    Another Tory MP described May's concessions as 'an arrow through the heart.'

    This certainly isn't good.

    * * *

    For a brief moment, the notion that Theresa May had finally wrested a crucial concession from the EU - namely, that it had agreed to grant the UK "legally binding assurances" that it could unilaterally exit the Irish Backstop in the event of a deal deadlock - seemed too good to be true.

    And as it turned out, it was.

    After issuing a tensely anticipated legal advice on Tuesday, Attorney General Geoffrey Cox contradicted May and the rest of her cabinet by determining that the interpretive document offered the UK by the EU would grant no legally guaranteed right to exit the backstop.

    In other words, Cox has confirmed the objections of May's eurosceptic critics, who alleged last night after the text of the agreement had been released that nothing had changed.

    While the risk of "bad faith entrapment" in the Irish Backstop had been "reduced" thanks to May's concessions, Cox couldn't rule it out entirely.

    Attorney General new advice key bit - bad faith entrapment in backstop “risk is reduced” BUT in case of intractable differences (ie over whether new tech solves border) legal risk “remains unchanged” with “no internationally lawful means of exiting [backstop] save by Agreementpic.twitter.com/nxEHRp5kdX


    — Faisal Islam (@faisalislam) March 12, 2019
    The advice virtually ensures an extension of the Brexit deadline.

    What Geoffrey Cox's legal advice likely means:

    ��Theresa May's deal almost certainly doomed to another crushing defeat
    ��Pendulum has swung firmly towards Remainers
    ��MPs likely to rule out no-deal on Wednesday
    ��MPs likely to vote in favour of Article 50 extension on Thursday

    — Jack Maidment (@jrmaidment) March 12, 2019

    The news sent the pound tumbling as it practically guarantees that a second vote on May's deal, expected late Tuesday (though it may yet be cancelled), will fail."

    Hard Brexit seems likely then GBP drops, Soft/Remain seems likely then GBP gains.

    It's almost like the markets are trying to tell us something, if only we could work out what?

    The pound sank after the government's senior law officer said the legal risk of the UK being tied to EU rules after Brexit "remains unchanged".

    Currency traders fear that the attorney general's advice means Theresa May's revised Brexit deal is less likely to be accepted by pro-Brexit MPs.

    BBC

    The pound fell from £1.17 to £1.15 against the euro in a few minutes.

    Sterling also fell two cents against from £1.32 to £1.30 against the dollar.
