This week, Marcus Stead and Greg Lance-Watkins discuss & assess:

The topic is clearly one of speculation and immediacy, but as you will have noted Marcus and I are willing to predict the future as a means to encourage people to think ‘outside of the box’ and broaden their horizons beyond media propaganda and political posturing of the protagonists – Think beyond Group Think!

As in so many areas of life, once one has let the Gene out of the lamp it is nigh impossible to force it back in. I am minded of the old and well worn political adage:
“If you open a can of worms make sure first you have a larger can!”

At the start of what is certain to be one of the most dramatic weeks in British political history, Marcus Stead and Greg Lance-Watkins take stock of the situation as it currently stands.

Marcus and Greg both believe that it is likely that the United Kingdom will leave the European Union at the end of October.

They contend that an extension to Article 50 will force Labour to back a general election, which would be fraught with risk for them, and could well result in a sizeable majority for Boris Johnson’s Conservatives, which would in turn give him a strong mandate to take the UK out of the EU, with or without a deal.
