UK shares will be under the spotlight today, such as CYBG Plc (ASX: CYB), with Brexit seemingly teetering on the edge. The UK’s Parliament has been unable to decide which option is most palatable.
Earlier this week the politicians voted against every single option being considered. Brexiteers now seem to be coming round to the idea that Prime Minister May’s deal may be better than no Brexit at all.
If her deal is not voted through then the only options are either: cancel Brexit (Brit-In) or a no deal exit.
