Not as bad as originally thought it seems, still not good.

Hard to figure who was stupider for pandering rightward, Ciudadanos or PP.

EU countries accounted for 47% of international views of U.K. jobs, down from 52% a year earlier, the website said in a report published Monday. Analysis of its users across the bloc also showed that in the three-year period since the start of 2016, migration of professionals from other EU countries to the U.K. has fallen by 30%, it said.

 

In an additional survey of 600 U.K. recruiters, 43% said the U.K. is less attractive to candidates from the EU since the Brexit referendum and 64% said the split is creating a skills gap in certain areas due to diminished access to international candidates. Three quarters reported an increase in businesses looking to source candidates from within Britain, rather than internationally.

 

More than half of recruiters said firms were increasing salary offers to new hires and 43% reported companies giving pay rises to retain existing staff. They also reported employers are increasing benefits, as well as offering more flexible working, graduate programs and internships.

 

While Britons may benefit in the short term, Mariano Mamertino, senior economist at LinkedIn, warned that this may become unsustainable. “Fast forward a few months and this may take an extra toll on British businesses that are already reporting skills shortages in certain areas,” he said.

The UK pro-Brexit right wing has gone mental and is supporting a candidate whose platform of No Deal Brexit would burn their economy to the ground. 

 

This is for the EU parliament elections, but if it holds even partially in the general election, the Tories are screwed.

UK MPs aren't up for re-election until 2022, unless Parliament dissolves itself.   If they did though, it looks like the right would split between Conservatives and Brexit.  Which could mean that Labor regains the majority.  So the Conservatives have no reason to do that and risk their majority. 

 

Edit: Apparently a vote of no-confidence only requires a simple majority, not a supermajority.   Still they would need quite a few votes from across the aisle.   Labor + SNP  + Liberal Democrats would not be enough.

It’s Boris Johnson’s job if he wants it. Brexit can come full circle with this moron leading the way, but I have a feeling he won’t. Easier to sit on the sidelines and complain than face the consequences of your stupidity.
