Tis a very fluid situation Mr Sharp. The city experts were probably figuring on a narrower defeat, with May coming back for a second vote. That would then take us closer to a NO DEAL scenario.
But the deal hasn’t just been fairly strongly rejected, it’s been annihilated, completely and utterly blitzed. I can’t see May coming back for a second vote, not without some sort of significant change.
Still anything could happen, but the general feeling has to be we are heading towards a much softer BREXIT. That can only reassure the markets.
And the value of the pound is one indicator of the overall health of our economy.
