      So is this a "no deal" brexit?

        It means WTO terms.

          No deal, WTO terms, or Australia-style deal, whatever you call it, is the minor problem. It looks increasingly likely that Scotland will 'take back control', declare independence and rejoin the EU. The margin according to polls is about 10% to leave now, with betting markets saying a 50:50 succesful leave vote in the next couple of years (which includes a chance there is no vote).

          A lot of that shift is driven by Brexit.

            About 10% chance before 2025, 20% before 2030. I don't think it a particularly liquid market though.

              While we are all enjoying ex-president Donald Trump's current tantrums, I think back to the mid 2000, when Apprentice 'star' Trump was nominated for (and lost) television's Emmy awards, twice. Remember how he whined about being robbed and cheated back then? I do.

              And now, Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo is to receive a special Emmy for his CORONA-19 briefings earlier this year... Do you think Trump will offer him a congratulatory phone call?
              The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced that New York's governor will be recognized Monday for his "use of television to inform and calm people around the world."

                Trump doing the right thing as an act of vengeance against Big Pharma for failing to announce a vaccine before the election.
                Lower drug prices as an act of personal vengeance... could not possibly have written something like that five years ago. Now it’s ho-hum.
                President Trump on Friday announced two major actions aimed at lowering the price of prescription drugs, as he seeks to make a mark on the issue in the final months of his administration.
