There’s now just one month until the Brexit deadline of 31st October. We’ve been here before (more than once) but can any of us really predict what’s going to happen?
Politics is a tale of two halves at the moment and, depending on whether your soundbite of choice comes from the Conservative conference in Manchester or the Opposition benches in Westminster, you’ll hear a very different story. Sajid Javid says no-deal is not off the table, even if the government ‘observes the law’, while Opposition leaders are said to be meeting today to discuss bringing the legal date when an extension has to be sought forward to as early as 5th October.
So, deal or no deal? We don’t really know. However, Brexit’s not the only thing in the headlines today – on the financial front alone, we’ve got UK GDP figures, business investment data, speculation over the new BoE governor – which is perhaps a salutary reminder that Brexit doesn’t mean putting everything else on hold.
