To make it more precise, Bank of America has over 5,000 employees in the UK, JP Morgan around 16,000, Goldman Sachs around 6,000, Morgan Stanley around 5,000, and Wells Fargo around 1,000 - so around 33,000 jobs in total.

It's not in their interest to give us an easy ride on brexit terms in case that would embolden other wavering countries. But you, as an intelligent person, would have already reached that conclusion....

Revisit your posts. One says they have a plan, one says they're working on it. Playing for Man City and Man United, so to speak.

omg, they (obviously) have a plan that they are still working on. Plans invariably have to be worked on before they are ready to be implemented, rarely appearing fully formed. This really is like talking to a child, or are you being deliberately obtuse?

Brexit boosts spending: UK set for record-breaking Christmas shopping Bonanza


Oxford Street and Regent Street, said Brexit had given the West End a “positive boost, driven by an influx of international shoppers looking to make the most of the weak pound.”

it started out at 360,000 -that's a project fear figure if ever there was one
that's a torrential out pouring of jobs .
but now upon reality check its down to a trickle if they move
this is a classic example of why the politics of fear have failed .

Labour duplicity? Surely not. I mean it's not as though during their last period in office they turned lies, spin and hypocrisy into an art form is it.

The referendum seems to have sorted things out. We've all got a clear direction and know exactly where we're going now....
Clip of Theresa M on Marr this morning telling us how terrible Brexit would be (pre-refererendum). Hypocrisy rules, power is everything...

I'd be interested to know how you'd go about planning for something as complicated as this in which there are so many unknowns and variables. The straight answer would be that it's an ongoing process until negotiations are concluded and the plans will be changing accordingly. The other side will be doing exactly the same.

The truth is that whatever HMG does at this stage there'll be those who'll use it as a stick to beat them with.
