Appears to show the UK negotiators lack of understanding of what the EU is able to offer vs what the alternative WTO option means.

Mhmm. Hands up who thinks any of these petitions are going to affect the progress of Brexit in any way, shape or form ...

Might help if they had the map the right way up..

Some more positive news seems to be emerging on financial services with Sterling jumping. Let's see how the day pans out...

Aaron Banks, Leave.EU and some others have been referred to the National Crime Agency over the source of their donations: https://www.electoralcommission.org....ected-offences

Good news:

National Crime Agency launches investigation into leave campaigners over referendum - Politics live

Quote:

We have reasonable grounds to suspect money given to Better for the Country came from impermissible sources and that Mr Banks and Ms Bilney, the responsible person for Leave.EU, knowingly concealed the true circumstances under which this money was provided. This is significant because at least £2.9m of this money was used to fund referendum spending and donations during the regulated period of the EU referendum.

Our investigation has unveiled evidence that suggests criminal offences have been committed which fall beyond the remit of the Commission. This is why we have handed our evidence to the NCA to allow them to investigate and take any appropriate law enforcement action. This is now a criminal investigation.

The financial transactions we have investigated include companies incorporated in Gibraltar and the Isle of Man. These jurisdictions are beyond the reach of the Electoral Commission for the purpose of obtaining information for use in criminal investigations or proceedings.

Following its investigation, the Commission has reasonable grounds to suspect that:

- Mr Banks was not the true source of the £8m loans made to Better for the Country.

- Loans to Better for the Country, on behalf of Leave.EU, involved a non-qualifying or impermissible company – Rock Holdings Limited, which is incorporated in the Isle of Man.

- Arron Banks, Elizabeth Bilney and others involved in Better for the Country, Leave.EU and associated companies concealed the true details of these financial transactions.

- A number of criminal offences may have been committed.

You lost and get over it/Biased civil servants and judges/The result still stands/You lot are not perfect/The money didn't change my opinions, I knew what I was voting for

will doubtless be the recommended phrases to use.

if remain had won by breaking the law they would not shut up about it for 1 second

Here's a good summary on why the Brexit we are now facing is at totally at odds with the 2016 vote:

That includes the comments from Dan Hannan (and others) over being able to stay in the single market.

No it won't and nor should it but what it does tell us is how money and power corrupt in our so called squeaky clean political system as there is just as much corruption in our political system as there is abroad.

Nor does it seem that the Leave campaign has stopped, judging by a letter sent to all the constituents in Folkstone by Aaron Banks.
