Martin Wolf: Boris Johnson's Brexit proposal would leave the UK poorer, with less influence in global commerce and reduced resources for any future government to work on domestic policies. The people need to consent to what will be a very costly deal. https://t.co/4uotCnbGD6

@FraserNelson @Telegraph With all due respect, I was there, and I can tell you that renogotiation was meaningful. And if I may, perhaps the some of the UK media, mainstream or yellow, should look at itself in the mirror, daily...and reflect about 40 years of #fakenews on the EU. That would be meaningful.

Timely reminder from Citi that CEO remuneration at Swiss banks dwarfs that of other European rivals

John Gapper: Zurich is a sober and orderly city, so a fierce altercation between a banker to the world’s billionaires and a private detective who was trailing him is worthy of John Le Carré https://t.co/WLX0CX1EX1

Long live the cult. In the interests of loyalty to the cult and Corbyn, the Lab conference has decided to not have a view on the most important issue this country has faced since WW2. They’ll deserve what’s coming

Dear Britain, 🇬🇧

Italy is very inventive in a crisis: we do technocratic governments, grand coalitions, minority administrations. We even had a committee of ‘wise men’ once. 🇮🇹

But it’s been a while since we last shut down Parliament - and that did not end too well...

Isn’t this the same as a coup? https://t.co/mLYeIDzb9d

Will be interesting to see the headline once they find out what really happened.

@schieritz If Germans start using British humour, we’ll never cope...
