It was meant to be a fleeting slowdown for Europe’s economic powerhouse, followed by a rapid rebound. Instead, Germany has been stuck in neutral for a year with hopes fading for a turnaround, a situation that threatens to spread lasting economic gloom across Europe. Its vast industry is in recession, a victim of shifting consumer […]
UK Election – What to Look for in the Next Six Weeks…
We continue to think that there remains a “political risk” discount on UK assets and on the currency. The combination of it being very unlikely that we have a No Deal Brexit; the part passage by the House of Commons of the revised deal (“Withdrawal Agreement Bill”) last week and the polling suggesting a Conservative […]
Britain Set for December 12 Election to Break the Brexit Deadlock…
Britain will hold its first December election in almost a century after Prime Minister Boris Johnson won approval from parliament on Oct. 29 for an early ballot aimed at breaking the Brexit deadlock.

Brexit: Over to Parliament…
I have to confess that I did not anticipate that the EU Council would be willing to sign off on a political draft of a deal where the text that is not final (it has not gone though the legal review) nor been presented to the sherpas for their close reading and advice to their […]
Brexit Deal Is ‘Within Sight’…
Boris Johnson is closing in on a possible Brexit deal this evening. Following a day of intense negotiations, sources in both Brussels and London said the details of a possible deal were ‘within sight’. However, with talks set to go to the wire, both sides cautioned that negotiations could still stall or even collapse ahead […]

Weep for Catalonia, Weep for Liberalism in Europe by Craig Murray…
The vicious jail sentences handed down today by the fascists (I used the word with care and correctly) of the Spanish Supreme Court to the Catalan political prisoners represent a stark symbol of the nadir of liberalism within the EU. That an attempt to organise a democratic vote for the Catalan people in pursuit of […]
