For what it's worth, I predict that May won't get her deal through next week & in the face of crashing out of Europe Parliament will vote to #RevokeArticle50, leaving us more or less where we were after the referendum (only with more information on the table). https://t.co/0RQ0AqZYgL
Of course the real question is, how closely will Chris Grayling be involved?
A #TTIP-style trade deal with the US that included Investor-State Dispute Settlement, would ironically require the UK to compensate US firms for precisely the kind of trade disruption that a significant economic / political shock like #BrexitVote creates.

Research shows that smart people are more susceptible to fake news and conspiracy theories - but why?
Will someone (publicly) map currency and stock price variations against UK political events in the coming days? You can bet that insiders are making a packet from #Brexit turmoil.
@nigel_driffield @JackCoy4 @D_Blanchflower Is that true? Or was it the complexity of the financial instruments involved? Not sure even forensic accountants wld have understood the risk profiles. As it is complexity alone prob should have served as a warning. Did everyone just assume someone knew what they were doing?
