    Sterling is surging against all currencies, including the Rand. This is great news for my holiday and also petrol prices.

    Makes me wonder whether this has always been the government's get out clause. The great unwashed are going to riot, aren't they?

    Jesus, this will be a short term £ rally which won't last more than a week or 2, so will make bugger all difference to prices as lots of co's hedged their currency poistions until January before the Bexit vote, the incvrease in petrol prices and inflation is coming no matter what

    Don't think it will change much. I think you'll see a lot of abstaining from labour MPs if/when they come to vote on it.

    Oh, if Parliament dares to vote against the democratically expressed will of the people this could get very f.ucking nasty. And rightly so.
    Mind you, the upside is that Labour opposing the triggering of A50 would basically render them unelectable through their non-London heartlands and destroy them politically. They're between a rock and a very, very hard place if it goes to a vote. I would expect mass abstentions.

    But the MPs could very well vote based on what their constituents want and end up rejecting Brexit, despite the majority of the people voting for it. It will largely depend on the how the over 55 poplulation is distributed, as they are the ones that effectively caused Brexit.

    This could really get rather interesting. Good thing my summer holiday is in the Dordogne next year.

    Most constituencies voted leave.



    No one gives a **** about Scotland.

    Sorry, they vote on what their constituents want and could end up rejecting bexit??? The vast majority of MP's would have to vote for it if that was the case looking at how the country shaped up in June

    I meant that it was possible that the distribution would have been such that the majority of MPs would have voted Remain.

    But BGS's map shows that that is not the case. Shame really, it would have been such good fun watching Farage's head explode.
