Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Just to remind you once again, that is not related to that main task in this place SHARES.

Patience is a virtue, that it seems you do not have at the moment, with time everything can change just like the lather on you hair

Bank of England back in Brexit spotlight after growth rethink - By William Schomberg

LONDON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - The Bank of England is feeling the heat again after its new, more upbeat picture for Britain's economy put an uncomfortable focus back on its warning last year about a quick and sharp Brexit vote hit to growth.

Governor Mark Carney woke up on Friday to headlines in anti-European Union newspapers that accused him of leading the Bank into a U-turn. "More humble pie for Bank as economy keeps growing," the Daily Express said.

The BoE surprised investors on Thursday when it hiked its forecast for growth this year to 2.0 percent. That was up from a call of 1.4 percent made just three months ago and represented a leap from its first post-referendum forecast of 0.8 percent.

The new prediction was higher than all but one of 50 forecasts by private economists in a Reuters poll in January, raising some eyebrows in the City of London. The BoE also edged up its growth forecasts for the following two years.

At the same time, Carney and his fellow policymakers lowered their forecasts for inflation over the next three years, potentially making it easier for them not to put Britain's economy to the test of higher interest rates any time soon.

Asked by a reporter on Thursday whether he was nervous that the BoE's new projections - which influence investments in financial markets and spending decisions by businesses - might turn out to be wayward like its ones in August, Carney said things were different now.

"Last summer we were in pretty exceptional circumstances," he said.

A string of surveys in the weeks after the referendum showed a collapse in confidence among consumers and companies in July and persuaded the BoE that a slump was coming.

In fact, confidence bounced back almost immediately and Britain's economy barely flinched after the referendum.

Yet Carney was unrepentant about the BoE's decision to cut interest rates to a new record low and ramp up its bond-buying programme in August, action that he credited for some of the strong performance of the economy since then.............

I wonder if anyone reads Execlines posts , can't say i do myself any way it's just chit chat , anything serious we can go anywhere online at any time don't you know . It can be a bit of light relief . When i first started watching all i remember was endless Goldfinger verses the rest and endless Tanker every day stirring it .

Labour MPs renew calls for Diane Abbott to resign after she misses crucial Article 50 vote with 'migraine'

Diane Abbott should resign if she is unable to be "part of the team" and support Jeremy Corbyn over Brexit, one of the party's MPs has claimed.

Caroline Flint, a centrist Labour backbencher, mocked the Shadow Home Secretary for having "Brexit flu" after Ms Abbott missed last week’s crucial Article 50 vote in Parliament having gone home early and saying she had a migraine

Ms Flint told ITV’s Peston on Sunday: “We used to have man flu, we now have Brexit flu that Diane has created.”

The former Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary said Ms Abbott should resign if she is unable to support Jeremy Corbyn on Brexit.

“It’s about being part of a team and I think [Ms Abbott] holds one of the most important portfolios within a shadow cabinet [or] cabinet”, she said.

“If she can’t support the leader on this then she should go.”

Germany's Merkel Meeting With State Officials To Step Up Deportations
Thu, 9th Feb 2017 10:52

BERLIN (Alliance News) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel is meeting with the leaders of the country's 16 federal states on Thursday to discuss a plan to speed up the deportation of failed asylum seekers.

Asylum requests and deportations are handled at the regional level. But Merkel, who is running for a fourth term in office in September, is pushing for a more centralized effort to make sure that those who do not qualify leave the country.

Merkel and the state premiers are consulting on a 16-point plan that includes the creation of so-called "exit centres" near airports to facilitate deportations and incentives for failed asylum seekers willing to return home voluntarily.

The deadly truck attack in Berlin in December and the bomb attack in Ansbach in July - both claimed by the Islamic State terrorist group - were carried out by people whose asylum requests had been denied and had not yet been deported.

Brexit: Lords confident they can force changes to Theresa May's plans

'We believe we can find a way to get the Lords behind us to push the Bill back to the Commons for another go at changing it'

Immediately after the Commons passed the Bill – unamended – a Government source threatened: “The Lords will face an overwhelming public call to be abolished if they now try and frustrate this Bill.”

Lords now on recess. Won't start looking at Brexit Bill until 20 Feb.

What would the vote percentage need to be to get it through then , anyone know .
