This week, Emma and Karin have a free ranging conversation covering everything from the resignation of UK PM Theresa May to whether Democrats should be appearing on Fox News. But mostly, we were talking about this whole concept of electability - what does it even mean? Karin runs through her six definitions of what people might mean when they say a candidate is electable and we debate the relevance and usefulness of each. Plus, of course, we play the Gut Check Game. Warning - there's a bit more swearing than usual in this episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/democratically/message

It was meant to be the day when "church bells were rung, coins struck, stamps issued and bonfires lit to send beacons of freedom from hilltop to hilltop", to paraphrase Boris Johnson. Instead, UK PM Theresa May has suffered another defeat of her withdrawal agreement, albeit by a slimmer margin of only 58 votes. Our London Editor Denis Staunton and Ronan McCrea, Professor of Constitutional and European Law at University College London, talk about what comes next, and some longer term Brexit problems we haven't even begun to think about.

TODAY ON THE ALEX JONES SHOW March 12, 2019 Tuesday, March 12th: Dems Imploding - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) revealed that special counsel Robert Mueller and the rest of the Democrats have insufficient evidence to impeach the president after admitting removing Trump is “just not worth it.” Her confession is intended to save the DNC from giving in to the party’s fringe demands that are out of touch with most Americans. Across the Atlantic, UK PM Theresa May is threatening to never leave the EU if officials don’t back her Brexit deal.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May has survived a vote of no confidence triggered by members of her own party over her handling of Brexit. The results were announced by Graham Brady, a member of parliament who chairs the 1922 Committee, which represents Conservative lawmakers in the House of Commons. She defeated the leadership challenge after Conservative MPs voted to back her by 200 to 117. The prime minister's victory protects her from another leadership challenge from within her own party for 12 months.But the result will not offer any assurances to May's supporters that she will be able to get her all-important Brexit deal through the UK's parliament.On another front, the arrest of Chinese telecommunications CFO Meng Wanzhou has sent shock waves through the global markets. The context of the smartphone industry and the new challenges facing big western monopolies from Russia and China is vital background information for anyone who wants to understand these recent, dramatic events. She has been released on bail in Canada, setting her up for a lengthy legal fight over extradition to the United States. Now, US President Donald Trump suggests he may intervene in the legal saga if it would help his pursuit of a trade deal with China. What's really going on here? "If I think it's good for what will be certainly the largest trade deal ever made — which is a very important thing — what's good for national security, I would certainly intervene if I thought it was necessary," Trump told Reuters in an interview published shortly after Meng was granted bail by a judge in Vancouver. Her arrest in Canada at the behest of the US seems more like kidnapping, and Trump now saying that the US might intervene if it helps his trade negotiations with China sounds like extortion.Today, US District Judge William H. Pauley III sentenced President Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen to three years in prison and ordered Cohen to pay nearly $2 million in penalties for financial crimes and lying to Congress. Cohen pleaded guilty in two separate cases. One was brought by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is investigating Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election, over Cohen's lies to Congress. The other was brought by federal prosecutors in New York over tax and bank fraud allegations and campaign finance violations. In a court filing asking for no jail time, Cohen's attorneys wrote that their client's misdeeds were a product of his “fierce loyalty” to Trump and put the wrongdoing squarely at the feet of the president and his close advisers. This is a much different guy than the brash and arrogant one we saw on TV early on in this game. Trump at first denied knowing anything about the payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, but then acknowledged that he had known about them. This week, he insisted that the payments were “a simple private transaction” — not election-related spending subject to campaign finance laws. He also maintained that even if the hush money payments were campaign transactions in violation of election regulations, that should be considered only a civil offense, not a criminal one.The Senate was expected to vote today on a resolution to end US support for the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen. It looks as though that vote won't take place until tomorrow. If successful, it would represent a significant shift for the Senate, which in March pigeonholed the same measure. So, where are we now with this Senate piece? The resolution, spearheaded by Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Mike Lee (R-UT) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT), requires Trump to withdraw any troops in or “affecting” Yemen within 30 days unless they are fighting al Qaeda. Is this a loophole? The vote comes after 14 Republicans, including Bob Corker (R-TN), voted to kick the resolution out of the Foreign Relations Committee late last month. Several of those senators, however, said they were advancing the measure to send a message to Saudi Arabia, not because of the substance of the measure. Also, Yemeni government sources confirmed today that a mass prisoner swap with the Houthis included Saudi soldiers fighting alongside state troops, as UN-brokered peace talks neared their end.GUESTS:Caleb Maupin — Journalist and political analyst who focuses his coverage on US foreign policy and the global system of monopoly capitalism and imperialism.Dr. Hisham H.

POLITICIANS across Spain jumped on comments from a senior official this week in which he let slip that the date of the next general election may be brought forward.Jose Luis Abalos, the left-leaning Partido Socialista’s (PSOE) Organisational Secretary, said the party had not ruled out holding a ‘Super Sunday’ on May 26. .............. A national vote has to be held no later than Sunday July 26 2020. THE Spanish government and authorities in Gibraltar have made a series of agreements which cover arrangements during the transition period following Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union (EU). ALMOST 4,200 judges and prosecutors walked out of courts across Spain today (Monday) in a national strike over pay rates, working conditions and the running of Spain’s justice system. AN international network of child pornography involved in producing and distributing material in 27 countries has been identified, and 14 arrests made in Spain. A further four suspects are being investigated, and the identities of more than 400 ‘users’ who viewed the images on WhatsApp groups have been passed on to Europol and Interpol. THE number of undocumented migrants arriving in Spain has broken records two months before the end of the year, according to government statistics. The latest data from the Ministry of the Interior showed more than 47,860 migrants arrived in Spain from the start of this year up to October 31. That is around 8,500 more than the previous record set in 2006, according to statistics. TWO neighbourhoods in Valencia City have made the list of the top five chosen by European holidaymakers using a tourist apartment booking site. A TOTAL of 81 million people from overseas are expected to have holidayed in Spain by the end of this year, 0.8 per cent less than in 2017. Figures from the Ministry of Tourism predict tourism figures for this year will not exceed the 81.8 million seen by the end of last year. The UK PM Theresa May has faced a week of intense pressure from Brexiteers since the publication of her 585-page withdrawal agreement with Brussels last Wednesday. Britain is at the mercy of Russian hackers who are plotting cyber attacks that could bring the country to its knees, politicians have warned. There are ten attacks happening every day, with many aiming to paralyse areas such as the NHS, the national grid and even Parliament. It has been suggested that the female reproductive system and stress responses are more sensitive to the negative effects of extreme physical activity. Scientists say there is some evidence that arduous physical activity can suppress normal female reproductive hormone activity, impair bone strength and elevate stress hormone levels to a greater extent than in men. Bingo and Bollywood dancing are being prescribed to help ease doctors’ workloads. Instead of giving out pills, GPs are referring ‘frequent attenders’ to activities including gardening, boxing and free coffee mornings. There are 112 activities on offer from the 37 practices in Croydon, south London. The pilot scheme receives nearly £800,000 in NHS funding but also relies on community volunteers. .

Ben Kumar, Investment Manager at 7IM isn't surprised by the rebound in the equities as he believes the global economy is in good shape and thus markets tend to brush aside political issues. "The Trump trade is long gone", he says, but it doesn't mean the US is a 'hollow egg' as economy looks strong with jobless rate at multi-year lows. Kumar describes the Tory manifesto and UK PM Theresa May's strategy as "capture the middle ground as a personality rather than a party". The segment concludes with Kumar sharing his bullish view on Indian economy. #economy, #markets, #trading, #equities, #stocks, #indices, #trading, #macro, #investing, #UK

Is the uncertainty, putting off the potential buyers of UK Inc.? #UK, #economy, #macro, #fundamentals, #TheresaMay, #Scexit, #Scotland, #Wales, #US, #investing, #markets
UK PM Theresa May is set to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty at the end of the month. That would mark the beginning of the two-year long divorce process from the EU. The question on everyone’s mind is if the M&A boom/inward investment will dry up during the two-year period. To add to this, the economy also faces the risk of Scottish referendum. Simon French, Chief Economist at Panmure Gordon joins us to discuss the impact of the uncertainty in the M&A space and economy as a whole. French says the more clarity (regarding Brexit deal) the more there will be the change in behaviour of consumers and business and vice versa. #UK, #M&A, #investments, #economy, #fundamentals, #macro
