Cable Forum - PM Boris forms a government

I'm waiting for the general election when boris gets back in and then the crazy people can all stand up in arms and protest that it wasn't a fair result and they want another one because it's not what they voted for.

He's not the one determined to overthrrow the democratic referendum vote.

Legislation to force Boris Johnson back to Brussels to delay Brexit until January 31st clears second reading:

Ayes: 329

Noes: 300

Rebel majority: 29

Another Conservative MP rebels? If so, somebody else can expect to lose the whip.

Bank of England: No-deal Brexit not as bad as we predicted

Quote:

While he warned that there would still be an economic impact, with food bills likely to rise, Mr Carney said preparations for no-deal since the end of last year had informed the improved picture.

These include work undertaken at Dover and Calais to reduce disruption to cross-Channel trade, the government's proposed tariff regime, and work to reduce disruption in the financial markets.

In other words, now it looks like it’s going to happen and there’s little point continuing Project Fear, they want to try to put on record a prediction that’s probably closer to the truth, in the hope that everyone remembers that prediction and not the blood-curdling nonsense they’ve been putting out for the last 3 years.

Boris proposed to the 1922 Committee an all Ireland agrifood zone. Haha.

Governor Mark Carney told the Treasury select committee that the Bank now believes GDP will fall by 5.5% in the worst-case scenario following a no-deal Brexit - less than the 8% contraction it predicted last November.

The Bank's revised assessment also says unemployment could increase by 7% and inflation may peak at 5.25% if the UK leaves the European Union without a deal.

Good news!!!

Re: PM Boris forms a government

Given the way they calculate how many (few) hours a week you need to work in order to qualify as 'employed', I doubt very much that the unemployment figures will rise to anything that comes remotely near 7% . . . unless they decide to move the goalposts again for . . . reasons :rolleyes:

oh, and two words to note in one of the quotes above are: MAY and PEAK . . . which actually leaves a big area below that

From your link.

3. Employment

The number of people in employment in the UK is measured by the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and consists of people aged 16 years and over who did one hour or more of paid work per week
