The Government has already announced its official plans to commemorate Britain leaving the EU at 11pm on 31st January, however a new victory has been won after minister Nigel Adams signed off on the Union Jack being flown down the Mall to celebrate Brexit. Her Majesty will be delighted given her support for the cause…
In addition to the Union Jack flying in Parliament Square, a light display in Downing Street and a countdown clock being projected against No. 10, new intake Tory MP, Dehenna Davison, has spoken of her delight at securing the victory, saying “After discussing this with the Minister multiple times over the past few weeks, I am delighted that he has today instructed officials to ensure the Union Jack is flown down the Mall on Brexit Day”, also highlighting the minimal cost to the taxpayer from the move. Unlike getting Big Ben to bong again…
MPs have been welcomed back to their desks today by an incredibly creepy anti-Brexit leaflet. On the front is the name of just about every god in multiple languages. Every ‘o’ has been swapped for a smiley face and the unhinged text inside, urging MPs to stop Brexit, is full of bible quotes and text speak. Front and centre was a symbol famously adapted by Prince as his new stage name in 2017 – is he back from beyond the grave?…

Bloomberg is reporting that there is a deal on the table in Brussels. Investment banks Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, both big donors to the campaign to remain, are telling clients we are leaving the EU on October 31 with a deal. JP Morgan recommends closing no-deal hedges. Wall Street and the City reckon Brexit is getting done…
Even gloomy Barnier says it is possible. Sterling is surging against the dollar, it is up 5% against the € this week. Sterling shorts are getting crushed…
If you go onto an Irish government website today this is the splash advert you see. They still seem pretty certain Brexit is happening in 24 days on October 31…
Deutsche Bank’s chief economist, David Folkerts-Landau, not only says that over the medium and long-term a ‘No Deal’ Brexit will make no difference to the British economy, he says an inadequate deal which constrained the British economy would be “a second best solution”. Confirming what many in Downing Street believe, namely that even without the back-stop, May’s regulatory-aligned deal would have detrimentally constrained the dynamic British economy. So-called “regulatory alignment” is an EU imposed constraint on unleashing the British economy to outcompete turgid EU rivals.
