as a side note.. came across this via Twitter.. the full report does not read well.. Disclaimer: Cannot verify this
Brexit has already utterly gutted the UK. The impact on the City is far worse than anyone has admitted until now. 269 banking firms and £800bn in assets have been transferred - with far more to come... https://newfinancial.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/2019.03-New-Financial-Brexitometer-EXT-HIGH-RES.pdf …

BTW, given this is probably the most important vote in our history (since the last vote 2 weeks ago), why is the Commons so sparse... Just goes to show that WasteMinister dont care..
The debate started at around 2pm, the vote will be at 7pm. There is little new to hear so most of what is being said is recycling the same old patter from all sides. There is no need to sit through it all again, you just need to be there to hear the key bits and then for the vote.
The MP's will all be there in the House, just not in the Chamber.
You need to read the detail, and also understand EU financial rules. For example, every single bank that wants to operate in the EU, post-Brexit, will have to open more than just a branch, but not necessarily its HQ.
One thing in the report is very clear; 269 firms haven't been transferred. They "have relocated part of their business, moving some staff or setting up new entities." And the report says 165 have moved, not 269.
The article also says that £800bn has moved or is moving. Well, which is it? "Has moved," or "is moving?"
And the numbers that have moved, according to the report, 100 to Dublin, 60 to Luxembourg, Paris 41, Frankfurt 40, Amsterdam 32, Spain 12, Sweden 4, Brussels 9. Does that add up to 269? No it doesn't. But it does say some firms are opening up more than one new office in the EU, but even then the numbers in the report don't add up.
I don't doubt there's a lot of fact in the report, but there's an awful lot of opinion and inaccuracy.

Apparently it is the 4th biggest defeat for a government. So it's progress of sorts...
Not sure why the BBC are interviewing Chuckup

So I guess it’s two options now - No Deal or Extending Brexit
It appears that the majority in Parliament don’t want a no deal - EU prob don’t want a No Deal
But are the EU going to allow a short extension with what they have coming up ?
This all seems a complete mess , what’s the point in another General Election? The public are getting sick of them and does any really think it’s going to result in a different result ?
Or are they going to go for a second referendum?
Have to say well done to all concerned for creating the complete mess and embarrassment our country is in right now , and well done for looking to screw with peoples future

Another mess. Are these MP's really acting in the best interest of the country and those that voted out. It still seems there are so many using this as political maneuvering and positioning. So where do we go now. Can't see no deal getting passed tomorrow and what stop gap if any will the EU allow. We're a laughing stock and in a mess. Why go for another referendum. The public spoke and the MP's screwed it up
