There was a bit of good news (apparently) just before Christmas with newspaper polls in the West Midlands and Sunderland (HERE) showing a huge swing to remain. They were dismissed as unscientific but at least they don't show a swing to leave!
The Independent claimed, after an interview with the head of the Irish agency trying to attract businesses to Ireland, that more than 100 companies are enquiring into a move and "dozens" of them are actually planning to relocate (HERE).
Roger Bootle of Capital Economics says pundits need to eat some humble pie over Christmas (HERE) but I hope that one day we will be able to ask him to eat all of it. Mrs May in her Xmas message has urged everybody to unite behind brexit (HERE) but I think she seriously underestimates the depth of pro-European feeling. We are not going to become believers in brexit - ever.
And finally Mervyn King, former BoE governor has once again shown he is not an economist and has no idea how the British economy works, says we should be optimistic about brexit and we should leave both the single market and the customs union (HERE). Some people are born fools.
