I am never voting for one of the two main parties ever again, it will be UKIP or another Brexit supporting party from now on.

Moving assets = moving money out of the country. This includes moving jobs. But who cares? The people losing their jobs? The economy?

JRM is as bad as the rest of them.  A deal that was bad last week is still a bad deal this week, nothing has changed.  At least the DUP stick to their principles.

Who cares where insurance companies regisiter their 'assets'. They are still obliged to pay out their claims and will still be providing insurance to the UK. Just like who cares where banks register their dodgy assets, i.e. collateralized debt and loan obligations that will probably never be paid back and loans on inflated house prices.

I wondered if the whole Brexit "thing" had changed the way they will vote in the next general election. I voted Labour for the first time in the last one, I am really unsure who I will in the next one. Labour has been a poor opposition in the last 12 months when they should be taking big advantage of what is a poor government. If you don't mind saying who you voted for last time and if ...

Banks and insurance companies have already moved billions of pounds worth of assets out of the UK. Aviva moved assets to Ireland, as did Barclays. Bank of America is moving to Paris from London. Ford said no deal would cost them over 600 million and would consider moving operations. Lloyds of London who has been in London for 330 years is moving part of it's business to the EU. Moneygram moved to ...

If we had started discussions with the EU straightaway rather than waste time then come up with a plan that we had no idea if the EU would agree to it was extremely arrogant. The side I voted for lost and that I accepted, awful decision, but accepted. The shambles since, businesses moving operations, businesses closing due to uncertainty ...

Jacob R-M apparently now saying that he will back May's deal provided the DUP agree to do the same.

There was no mention of a deal. Exactly as you say. Question - "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" Answer - "Leave" Rig up trade deals, yeah that's great. But what is this current deal bargaining about? It is all about staying in the EU. All a fabrication.

I don't remember no deal Brexit being on the ballot paper? There were no options as to what any deal would look like. How can you say it is the will of the people for no deal? I agree the result of a non-binding referendum was promised to be upheld by the PM who then ran away was won by leave but it say leave with a deal.
