Best read of the day? This by @CamSimpsonNews et al, on betting on Brexit bloomberg.com/news/features/…
what I do wonder is why it's taken two years for these types of in-depth stories to appear. They were widely rumoured, or bits were reported before.
You know who *seems* missing from the story? Jacob Rees-Mogg. Odey and Crispin are mentioned, but Rees-Mogg's Somerset Capital Management was setup under the wing of Odey (who did trade on Brexit). I wonder could Rees-Mogg have benefitted too?

Ah the MANs. It's become a part of my life at this stage. Here's Mark Griffin from @Dept_CCAE at the PAC last month. What are these cost savings you speak of Mark? (Also it's Norcontel not Norcom)
A reminder: the Court of Appeal hearing against the Department is due to start next month with regard to access to the concession agreement under FOI - the Department lost the High Court case.
Anyways! What are these "cost savings" of €22 million? Let's dig for a second.

9/17: Manafort working on "Kurdish referendum"

"...the Kurdish referendum, scheduled for Monday, would not immediately trigger independence, the American gov't and the international community have expressed serious concerns about it. "
"They fear that, if it passes overwhelmingly, as expected, it could further destabilize Iraq, damage the coalition fighting the Islamic State, and potentially spark violence in disputed areas."
"...the State Department urged Kurdish leaders “to accept the alternative, which is a serious and sustained dialogue with the central government, facilitated by the United States and United Nations, and other partners.”

Rant time.

Hey #Brexit people, or those who don't like #immigration, those who think that immigrants are #TakingOurJobs, I have words for you;

They're not. Those jobs were never going to be yours anyway.

Really want to know why they get all the great jobs and you don't?

#FBPE
Immigrants have guts. We're talking about people who pack up their lives and head to a completely new country. People who, the moment they step off the plane, know they have every pillar of security, whether welfare or mum's couch, knocked out from under them.
Immigrants have confidence. They know that, wherever they're going, they'll do well for themselves. Whatever job they're going to, they're going to knock it out of the park, whatever it might be. Because to an immigrant, their skill and ability is their security.
