EU Membership Referendum (Brexit)

A late rally as MP's arrive for the vote tonight...

You'd have to think anything over 225 for May would be a 'win' for her at this stage

[megarain]

Decent late money for the 199 votes or less line.

3.25 into 2.74.

Unlucky.

200-209 was 5.5 or so.

[Euler]

I don't see how the EU will make any concessions to anybody to ease the path of the bill. Let's see.

[Dallas]

Decent late money for the 199 votes or less line.

3.25 into 2.74.

Unlucky.

200-209 was 5.5 or so.

I was glad to see those extra few votes land, was weighted more on the 2nd/3rd selections

[superfrank]

Junker scheduled to make a statement this evening if he's sober enough.

By any measure May has failed - her BRINO "deal" clearly didn't fool enough people.

[BetScalper]

What we need is a good old war.

Where’s Cromwell when you need him ?

Gufawkes had the right idea but badly executed. Lucky he slipped on the ladder and broke his neck otherwise the fate awaiting him would have been horrific and rather painful....

[Naffman]

EU says tell us what you want then when UK does and they just say sorry all the member states have already agreed a brexit deal, the EU has to budge otherwise it'll be a stalemate for the foreseeable future as I can't see how May loses a no confidence vote.

[megarain]

Forex move was interesting.

Spike down a bit, then has clawed back most of todays losses.

Anybodys guess what happens over next 2 mths, but, it seems the bears are losing some grip.

I dont c EU giving much (if anything). Sorta thinking another referendum might happen.

GBP currently 1.2860 to US .. was 1.5x pre brexit referendum .. and has been as low as 1.22

[Naffman]

Was just going to say that megarain...not complaining but very odd

And agree the EU won't give anything, they are loving this

[Euler]

Y, sterling bounced quite a bit. I think most of the bad news was already in the price. I mentioned that a bit earlier as a view on it.

Not sure where it goes from here though!

[Naffman]

If the backstop is the only thing stopping the deal and the EU aren't willing to budge then I think it's fairly obvious they planned on keeping the UK in the customs union indefinitely

[Naffman]

Govt. 1.05 to win no confidence vote tomorrow, don't even both Jezza

[ruthlessimon]

I wonder how many MPs bet on their own votes. I don't think there are any regs against it

If there are, I'll go half with Whitehead for a quick text as he goes through the lobby

[BetScalper]

Many MPs went against their constituents who voted leave.

Can they not be publicly hanged for treason against the people ?

I’m up for pulling the leaver free of charge.
