Brexit: What on earth's going on?

Theresa May has asked the European Union (EU) for a delay in the UK’s departure until 30 June, with EU officials indicating they would only grant an extension on the grounds of Parliament agreeing a deal.

The hunt for the Holy Grail

“It’s just a flesh wound.” Like Monty Python’s Black Knight, Prime Minister Theresa May is hopping around Westminster raring for another fight. Last week was an absolute defeat, leaving her authority in tatters and her deal roundly denounced by Parliament. Despite the EU’s…

Brexit edges forward amid Parliamentary chaos

This has been a tumultuous week for politics by anyone’s standards. Following the drama of Brexit votes and Parliament exerting its will not to leave the EU without a deal, it was a better day in the office for Prime Minister Theresa May on Thursday.

Chart of the Week: “Just get it online”

In some ways, retail is going through a similar transformation to that of the auto industry, when greater automation and systems seeped into manufacturing decades ago. Nowadays, retail shopping is less about swamping high streets with clothes or sofas in every size and colour.…

Crunch time (again)

We don’t know about you, but over the past year or so we got into the habit of buying our travel money extremely far in advance of holidays. Soon after the referendum result of 2016 – when sterling fell like an elephant with a ball and chain on its leg – there was a period when…

Amusing ourselves to death

Quite possibly the worst bounty delivered by the 21st century is the 24-hour news cycle. It creates a strange sort of loop that distorts time, fact and emotion. You ask yourself, for how many days has this BBC presenter on the TV at Westminster been talking about wicketkeepers?…

The next recession

It’s that time in the ebb and flow of global commerce that investors cast around for the next big threat to the economy, the unforeseen wave that will upend everything. Economists and talking heads have pitched up quite a few candidates over the past six months: China, the US…

Great timing

US nonfarm payrolls smashed expectations once again, posting 304,000 new jobs in January instead of the 165,000 forecast. Last month’s number was revised down from exceptionally high to very high. The ISM manufacturing survey rose to 56.6, higher than expected, showing that US…
