Deal or no deal

Why I can’t see a deal being agreed before the 1st of April 2019 Ladbrokes have a market up on a few Brexit related markets, out of these three I’m quite keen to take the 6/4 on there being no Brexit deal being agreed before the 1st of April 2019. My logic behind this is that for a long time I’ve had the feeling that 2 years to do a deal is practically impossible even for a competent government with…

Do you want to bet on some Robert Mugabe related betting markets? Now you can

In news that will shock most punters, Paddy Power become the first and only bookmaker to have some Robert Mugabe related bets in light of the recent attempted coup d’état in Zimbabwe. My initial reaction to these markets is this is a market that you’d rather be the bookie than the punter, however if Mugabe does manage to cling on to power, then that 30/1 Grace Mugabe to be Robert Mugabe’s successor might be a coup de grâce for Paddy Power,…

“When are we going to convert you?” I was frankly rather flattered to be asked that question by Laura Parker, then political secretary to Jeremy Corbyn and now national director of Momentum. Her question was whether, in effect, I had abandoned my Corbo-scepticism following the General Election in which her boss had led Labour to a better than expected result. I pointed her to my PB verdict on that result. I said I was wrong – and right — about Jeremy:…

Today we get to see an early dividend of Brexit when the EU27 have a vote to choose the new host city for the headquarters of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to replace London. London will no longer host the HQ post Brexit because of Mrs May’s desire to implement the result of the referendum and the campaign therein to ‘Vote Leave to take back control of our laws’, since the EMA is underpinned by the ECJ that means our withdrawal…
