Cannydc wrote:A City firm co-founded by the influential Conservative backbencher, Jacob Rees-Mogg, has set up an investment fund in Ireland and is warning prospective clients about the financial dangers of the sort of hard Brexit favoured by the Tory MP.

London-based Somerset Capital Management (SCM) described Brexit as a risk in a prospectus to a new fund it launched in March, which has been marketed to international investors who want to keep their money in the EU long-term.

The disclosure is embarrassing for Rees-Mogg, who works part time at Somerset Capital in addition to his work as an MP. The parliamentarian has repeatedly dismissed the concerns of those worried about the financial risks of Brexit and has argued the UK needs to quit the single market and customs union so the country is not a “rule taker” from Brussels.

But in reference to Brexit, the SCM prospectus warned: “During, and possibly after, this period there is likely to be considerable uncertainty as to the position of the UK and the arrangements which will apply to its relationships with the EU.”

The document continued: “As [the firm is] based in the UK and a fund’s investments may be located in the UK or the EU, a fund may as a result be affected by the events described above.”

Rees-Mogg is a non-executive chair at SCM and is paid about £14,000-a-month for working 30 hours a month there.


"Working" in this case is only very loosely based on what most would consider as work. And £460 an hour for that is frankly obscene.

Rees-Smug will make a fortune out of brexit, his business interests are in emerging markets (which we shall become) and shorting UK stocks. His fellow gammon Redwood, is advising people to dump UK stocks while Nige's Lawson and Fridge are taking residence in France and Germany. But it's all about sovereignty. Fuck off!

Theresa May has suffered a big defeat in the Lords, with peers voting for a new version of the plan to give parliament a “meaningful vote” on the final Brexit deal by a majority of 119.

The issue will go back to the Commons on Wednesday where the prime minister is at real risk of a defeat that would take the prospect of a “no deal” Brexit off the table and raise the prospect of MPs, not the government, deciding Brexit priorities in the event of the withdrawal deal being voted down in the autumn.

Peers have defeated the government on this issue before. But, unusually, the anti-government majority was significantly bigger than it was last time (normally it starts to shrink at this point) and that may embolden Tory rebels in the Commons.


Time to grow a pair, pragmatic Tories.

Brexit will have to be delayed unless a deal is struck by the end of the year because the European parliament will run out of time to vote on it, MPs have been told.

Guy Verhofstadt, the parliament’s Brexit coordinator, said it needed to begin scrutinising any agreement at least three months before exit day – which is 29 March next year.

Asked to give the deadline for a deal, he replied: “Before the end of the year. That is the ultimate date, otherwise we cannot be assured to have a vote in plenary in March.”
