So how does business now respond as no-deal Brexit on October 31st recedes in likelihood, but is still a possibility? Incredibly tough, it probably comes down to being aware of the challenges their firms may face, but delaying actual spend as much as possible.
It doesn't help that Government won't comment on the various leaks about what might happen, or publish any kind of comprehensive assessment. No-deal can't be both straightforward to overcome and too scary to publish. Too many similar details being lost in political power plays
Clearly there has to be an election soon to try to lift the uncertainty. But if that fails to break the deadlock - another hung Parliament seems entirely possible - then as a country we're going to have to find a different way to resolve the issue.
We have to avoid the long term uncertainty of zero-sum politics with regard to the EU - a battle between no-dealers and remainers (who to make it worse both deny this is what they are), or face steady economic decline. linkedin.com/pulse/untangli…
Royal Commissions, Citizens Assemblies, Parliamentary enquiries, etc etc - I have no idea how we get to a relatively stable place on EU relations. But that has to be the challenge for those politicians and think tanks not utterly embedded on one side or other (not many...) /end
