Downing Street under pressure to close down Labour talks on Brexit
No 10 scrambles to explore options before possible heavy losses in EU elections

No 10 is feeling the pressure to pull the plug on Brexit talks with Labour and move to an alternative plan, amid warnings that the opposition is in no hurry for a deal before the European elections.
With talks deadlocked and no sign that the government moving on its red lines, neither the Conservatives or Labour want to appear responsible for the breakdown in discussions.

However, government sources acknowledge Theresa May is under much greater time pressure than Labour, which has little incentive to do a deal before the European and local elections that are likely to result in the Conservatives suffering heavy losses to Nigel Farage’s Brexit party.

Pelosi warns no US-UK trade deal if Belfast Agreement weakened by Brexit
US House of Representatives speaker in London ahead of Ireland trip

US House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi said there would be “no chance whatsoever” of a US-UK trade deal if the Northern Ireland peace agreement was weakened by Brexit.

Speaking at the London School of Economics ahead of her visit to Dublin, the Democratic leader in the House said that a US-UK trade agreement would be “a non-starter” if the Belfast Agreement was undermined.

Ms Pelosi, who as speaker is second in the line of succession to the US presidency after the vice president, is the most senior American politician to warn against a trade deal between the two countries if the Northern Irish peace process is damaged by Brexit.

The Democrat was speaking in London as part of a US congressional delegation visit to Britain, Germany, Ireland and Northern Ireland. The delegation travels on to Dublin today when she will meet Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney.

'Their first decision was to go on holiday': EU's Verhofstadt fears UK will waste Brexit delay
Guy Verhofstadt says the delay is "too near for a substantial rethink of Brexit" and "too far away to prompt any action".

"My fear is that with this decision, the pressure to come to a cross-party agreement disappears," Mr Verhofstadt said, referring to the talks between Labour and the Conservatives to try and find a Brexit compromise.

"And that both parties, the Conservatives and Labour, will again already what they did for months - run down the clock.

"And the proof of this is that the first decision the House of Commons took after your decision was to go on holidays."

Climate change could wipe out $20 trillion of assets, Bank of England warns
The global financial system could be left reeling as $20 trillion of assets are wiped out by climate change, if institutions and companies fail to prepare now, the Bank of England has warned.

The shock could be so severe that it could trigger a “climate Minsky moment”, where asset prices suddenly become worthless, derailing global growth, according to Sarah Breeden, head of international banks supervision at Threadneedle Street.

Ich halte es für einen Fehler, bilaterale Beziehungen von Fragen bzgl. der Rechte von Dritten abhängig zu machen. Die Beziehungen zwischen London und Dublin sind Sache - genau von London und Dublin. Sie sind keine Sache von Brüssel oder Washington.

Das ist doch Kappes, Brüssel sitzt naturgemäss am Tisch, was bis jetzt ja auch gar kein kein Problem war, und Washington als "Garantiemacht" wurde auch gern gesehen.

Tom Watson calls for inquiry into Arron Banks and Leave.EU
Pro-Brexit group allegedly faked migrant-related video and photos before referendum
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/201...nks-and-leaveeu

"An investigation by Channel 4 News also reveals how Arron Banks’ pro-Brexit group appears to have staged photos of migrants attacking women in London

The pro-Brexit campaign group, Leave.EU, faked a viral video and appear to have staged photos of “migrants”, shortly before the EU referendum.

An investigation by Channel 4 News found that images purporting to show “migrants” attacking young women in London seem to have been staged.

The group – backed by businessman Arron Banks – was also behind a fake video, claiming to show how easy it is for migrants to sneak into Britain. In reality, satellite data shows the men on board had not left UK waters."

No Brexit more likely than a disorderly one, say economists
The chances that Brexit will be cancelled are now greater than the chances Britain will leave the European Union without a deal, according to economists in a Reuters poll, who again pushed back their expectations for when the Bank of England will raise interest rates.

Die Sendung aus der Reihe „ZDFzoom“ mit dem Titel „Betrügen leicht gemacht“ hatte am Beispiel von Tschechien, Ungarn und Rumänien dargestellt, wie populistische Regierungspolitiker Fördermittel aus der von ihnen kritisierten Europäischen Union zu ihrem Vorteil nützten.

Wenn die Briten klug sind, dann fließen keine britischen Steuergelder mehr in die Taschen osteuropäischer Oligarchen.

"We have the worst Prime Minister since Anthony Eden, the worst opposition leader ever, the worst parliament since Oliver Cromwell." (At least Cromwell knew how to deal with parliament.*:-)) Soweit "Miss Marple" - ich mag sie irgendwie.

Stimmt, nur der schlechteste PM und der schlechteste Labour-Führer war Tony B. Liar.

Ich vermute, Johnson wäre der unterhaltsamste, Gove (der nicht sonderlich sympathisch wirkt) vielleicht das geringste Übel - und Hunt wird es wahrscheinlich werden. (Kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass die Mehrheit der Tories einen Muslim wählt, vor allem aber keinen Remainer.)
