Cable Forum - Brexit (Old)

Hard Brexit dies today. With one year to implement her vision Mrs May has the freedom to extend A50 if required, and use the spectre of no Brexit to marshal her party into line. It’ll be a fantastic watch.

Lower economic growth, lower tax revenues and lower investment aren’t going to help our poorest.

You’ve hit on the conundrum here. Higher minimum wage feeds through to higher prices. The other items listed are, as you imply, matters for government to fix (fat chance.)

May is saying she won't take this as a mandate to stay on for years, which is a odd concession to make if the whips were confident of a win.

Although I have also heard Tory MPs saying their constituency associations aren't pleased with the timing of this
