really curious about the brexit plan b vote results which are being counted right now...

watching the pound, currently at ~1.31 vs the dollar

casino scenarios (of actual happenings, not indicative votes):

hard brexit would drop it to 1.13... OUCH

revoking article 50 would lift it to 1.50!

general election... down to 1.20... (so much uncertainty)

2nd referendum to 1.42!

may's deal passing, to 1.35...

customs union to 1.40!

Looks like May will put her original deal (with minor amendments) to a 4th vote tomorrow. Assuming it doesn't pass there's increased talk of a snap general election, with her leading the Tories, who will desperately want to avoid this. It'll be a gift for Labour.

!@#$%! · 04.02.2019, 12:00 PM

may about to make whats sure to be another useless bombastic statement peppered with first-person pronouns

“I...”

useless, unless she fucking quits

!@#$%! · 04.02.2019, 12:10 PM

wow she didn't make it about herself

miracles!

the pound rose a bit, which is "kinda hopeful" lolol

demonrail666 · 04.02.2019, 12:31 PM

She's been a disastrous negotiator, and I'm certainly not a fan, but for all her unwillingness to listen to others I'll credit her with one thing: I think she's always ultimately wanted a deal that she felt was in the country's best interests. That should be a given but it's certainly more than can be said of a number of people in her party and the opposition (on both sides of the debate) who have clearly been playing this to serve their own ends, regardless of how that might affect the country.

Hell yes.

!@#$%! · 04.02.2019, 08:26 PM

scenario of snap election is pound drops 1110 pips to about $1.20...

pound rose today to 1.313 after may’s pronouncement, now sitting steady there, market is not seeing change of government yet

eta just checked from current price to 1.20 would be 1264 pips (it’s a shitton of money, the way the market moves)

!@#$%! · 04.03.2019, 08:19 AM

juncker just took a shit down may’s throat (gross i know) and raised the stakes

i hope he’s a good blackjack player...

"8m ago

I just made an error: the vote hasn’t failed, an amendment by the former minister George Eustice was just defeated by 304 ayes to 313 noes.

The amendment would have prevented the government from being forced to hold a vote if the European Council proposes an extension date different than that requested by parliament.

Profuse apologies. The previous post has been deleted."

pound has been climbing out of the gutter since markets opened in sydney on monday (sunday for the rest of us?) and now that the cooper amendment passed looks like it will go higher. nowhere near the 1.33 heights from earlier in the year yet, but clearing above 1.30 now... till the next bit of bad news that is hahhahana.

and now, “the royal assent” lololol. ah, england!
