The brain drain "Brexodus" from the UK continues apace.

"Cake and eat it" off the menu? Was there anyone who truthfully believed that was a realistic negociating stance? ......apart from May and a small number of loony Brexiters? In the end, when we look at the deal finally offered to us, aren't there going to be many who will have doubts that the gain from the new relationship with Europe was worth all the pain? Yet the pain will be great at home. The remainers will argue that we would have been better staying in the EU, whilst the Brexiters will feel bitterly disappointed that this is not what they voted for.


“There is still a fudge and before we get down to negotiating in October/November we have got to decide once and for all which of those two options we are going for,” he added. “What you can’t do is sustain a fudge because then you are going into negotiations without knowing what you want.”

That is interesting, I was at a company conference in the Netherlands the other week and the Mitsui focus seems to be very much in reinsurance and taking advantage if and when we ever come out of this soft market. Acquiring a stake in a reinsurance broker seem to be affirming that.

I see investment in the car industry has plummeted because of Brexit.

No doubt that'll be dismissed as Project Fear as well.

Investment or production is down...or even both?

Both apparently.Have a read of this.

"Figures compiled by the Society of Motor Manufacturer and Traders suggest investment announcements are now running at a quarter of the annual rate seen two years ago."

Growth for the sector slipped to a three-month low as manufacturers suffered a slowdown in both output and new orders, according to the latest IHS Markit/CIPS Purchasing Managers’ Index. Its barometer of manufacturing activity dipped to 54.3 in June from 56.3 in May. That was below forecasts for 56.3 in a Reuters poll of economists.

Sadly I don't think the clock will be wound back. We're in for the long haul and a lot of pain.

Just finished reading Tim Shipman's All out War (The Full Story Of Brexit) in which Vote Leave's campaign leader Dominic Cummings is described as a brillant eccentric who no-one wanted to take into government.
