Re: 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.

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.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
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.

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.

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

The unemployment figures are calculated using international standards.

This approach has wide international acceptance, including by the International Labour Organisation (ILO).

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
