In todays episode of the browser drama the ben build to block a no deal brags it has passed the house of lords without amendment the bill is now set to become law after the formality of the queens assent to the measure is officially attained on monday in response Prime MinisterBoris Johnson who on thursday said that he would rather be dead in a ditch than request an extension of braggs it notably declined to reprise of rhetorical display of defiance and determination on a visit to aberdeenshire in scotland mr johnson whose political and diplomatic standing seems to be almost by the hour insisted that he could solicit a new deal on baghdad from the European Union by powers of persuasion few outside of mr johnsons inner circle seem to share mr johnsons life confidence in his diplomatic capabilities the pound sterling took a fall of point 2 percent against the dollar and early trading while leaders of parliamentary opposition reportedly huddled to determine a common strategy labor leader Jeremy Corbyn is said to settle on a position that no general election should be called until the bend bill under an extension of drags it past october 31st is secure. And joining us now to offer her perspective on all of this is holy forde which a board member of the british merican Business Association walking back really good on here so then bill barring the no deal briggs it seems to become law on monday barring an extraordinary break with president experts seem to say that the bill is procedurally bullet proof as it passed with no amendments presuming regular ledger. Order will the Prime Minister comply with the burn bill if and when it becomes war well i dont know as he mentioned you know hes already declared that hed rather be did dead in the ditch than go and crew to brussels to request an extension and of course what the hilary benn bill stipulates is that he will have to go to back to brussels and request about a 3 month extension till the end of january which he does not want to do and actually theres been fears that he wont comply in fact hilary benn was quoted as saying you know we either have a law on the rule of law or we dont so we actually can just ignore this and not actually accept it i think thats a very interesting point is that while this bill would force johnson not to be able to force through a no deal breaks it actually forces to come up with some kind of solution and they have none so it begs the question what is their solution for the dithering as he was quoted in saying in aberdeen shares that you know it costs the u. K. A 1000000000. 00 a month for this do the bring all these delaying thats whats happening now the Prime Minister seems to still want to go into a general election which he said that he doesnt want but the government still says that they will try again to past election bill on monday the last general election was in 2017 while the referendum was in 2016 so my question per a tweet along these same lines is if you think that the u. K. Public may have changed their mind about which party they support since 2017 why shouldnt there be a referendum on braggs that which the people last weighed in an even longer a girl with a question actually begs why should we ever have any kind of referendum if the leaders are not going to actually adhere to a people vote for i mean thats the issue 201617 point 4000000 people voted for the not hearing too and they all will try again vote again vote again so actually theyve already voted the voters way and the issue is the elite has not adhered to and its about as ridiculous as saying well people didnt like the fact that trump was elected in 2016 lets have another election thats how ridiculous it is. Right and on this question of election we talked to former member of the Scottish Parliament tom sheridan who highlighted some of the issues he thinks are being effectively scuppered by the brics a debate and he was quite fired up about that lets listen to some of that. Weve got luigis weve got and then secure economy weve got workers a 1000000 of them over contracts weve got our welfare city that has been cut to the cool weve got 123rd homeless families in temporary accommodation some of the big. Shipping containers one of the richest short gold nations in the planet and yet we have kids living in may 2 shipping containers those problems are real and they have to be addressed corbett wants to kick the tories and he wants to introduce a labor government. So hillary in light of what tommy said my question is is the u. K. In danger of protracted distraction from the basics of governing and managing the economy for the common good by this management was done yes absolutely of course and i agree with tommy i mean look education the police force the National Health service none of its actually been addressed in fact just now just recently job it has come back with a sort of a bill and has basically proposed that austerity will come to an end basically by over 13000000000. 00 pounds to react to infuse into the british economy why for the exactly the reasons that tommy said this is being over dick killer stis traction again the point is that leaders should have appeared to what the British Public elected by 17400000 people in 2016 price it and they have not so exactly what it is that is distracted from every other agenda and has resulted in Business Uncertainty and in manufacturing uncertainty this is why theres a mess because they wont do what the electorate wanted so now theres also disputes within parties so the entire thing is basically a mass are we. Not just a crisis within the individual parties but in also the basic institutions and the structure of the u. K. s political economy now actually what i would say kristie is the answer is yes its a mess but i would quote churchill democracy is not a good form of government better though that all the other forms of a tried and this is what democratic dissent results in and youve got democratic dissent i would say on steroids my final and parting words are i think this is a redefinition of nations like in the u. S. You look at the Cross Party Lines its no longer democrats and republicans and in the u. K. A general election is not going to be labor versus conservatives you know why because a lot of the labor workers theyre the ones that have been hurt to the greatest extent by all the e. U. Regulations and its the elites who historically were of course tory voters is the elites who are seeing their luxury goods become so pricey and Boris Johnson is actually trying to push through something that would give business certainty and bring back manufacturing to the u. K. That is a workers issue so what i think youre seeing is a redefinition in both the u. S. And the u. K.

The trumpet ministration has shot thrown their support behind the idea of privatizing mortgage giants fannie mae and freddie mac. The 2 companies which guarantee roughly half of the u. S. Mortgage market have been under government control since the financial crisis of 2008 u. S. Treasury secretary Steven Nugent said in a statement regarding the recommendation that quote an effective and efficient federal Housing Finance system will also meaningfully contribute to the continued Economic Growth under this administration portions of the plan for privatization will require approval from the u. S. Kong. Yes joining us now to discuss this and a host of regulatory issues is International Regulatory attorney miles and miles welcome back. Thank you 1st of all lets get your take on this u. S. Housing news walk us through the concerns that regulators and Public Interest advocacy groups might have with these changes from the trumpet ministration to these cornerstone institutions of the u. S. Housing market fannie mae and freddie mac. Sure lets start out by explaining who they are theyre both government sponsored entities which means that theyre somewhat private operating under the auspices of the federal Housing Finance agency and what they do simply is fannie mae buys mortgages from commercial banks pretty mad buys mortgages from thrifts they securitize them into Mortgage Backed securities and they sell them to the market and thats a wonderful thing its quite profitable and the government has done quite well since 2008 with this model the situation is that if you privatized certain mortgages that would be available concerns to consumers may not be there and they may shift the landscape of the Mortgage BackedSecurities Market but it may also do and this is what regulators and consumer advocates are very very concerned about we may revert back to a situation of 2008 where if there is a Less Government intervention and oversight we may have a situation where subprime were nonconforming loans are sold as part of these Mortgage Backed securities and we find ourselves really circling back to a situation similar to the financial crisis of 2008 now the mike how one of the center for responsible lending told n. P. R. On this move that for the working class americans who want to buy a house they could make a much more difficult to get a mortgage and make the mortgage much more expensive so how much will characterize and quantify the effects of this change on the affordability of buy a home in the u. S. It will affect it because certain mortgage products will become less attractive to whoever ends up owning and running freddie mac. And fannie mae and it could actually be the same organization so what the beauty of a government that sponsor entity is is that they look at putting the interests of the consumers 1st and profitability less so theres going to be tighter restrictions for consumers to obtain mortgages and theres going to be a less Product Available for them because whoever the new owners private owners of these organizations are theyre looking at the bottom line and they want to make sure whatever product they have out there. Is going to be worthwhile and thats going to trickle down to the thrifts and commercial banks making sure that whatever mortgages they sell to to whoever is a private owner of this organization is attractive to them so it will have an impact on it definitely now miles i want to get your take on 2 of the problems ive read in some of the reporting on this which is one these 2 g. S. Hes now siphon all of their profits to the government and as i understand it would continue to do so under this plan and to theyre also going to be really private companies again they would be billions of capital to work with and they were wiped out when they became directly controlled so how would they solve these 2 sort of logistical problems in basic finance if they want to make the really independent. Yeah and those are good points dan youre the 1st point is its absolutely true weve seen it before under the Obama Administration where they siphoned off profits from both organizations basically to stimulate the economy prior to an Election Year so that absolutely has been happening similar to whats happening with Social Security now what the new capitalization is going to look like is going to be extraordinarily difficult to see but youre right on target by saying that there will be a loss of capitalization i believe that the best approach would be is not only to have congress involved in the process but the president should have appointed a committee of both private and Public Officials who could really struck sure what the new entity is going to look like but we are going to be faced with both situations that that that piggy bank is no longer going to be available for either the president or congress to siphon off and use it for other situations as i mentioned before like obamacare. Now shifting over the Technology Big tech regulation is not going away as an issue in the u. S. And new York Attorney general Leticia James said in her investigation and with her colleagues at facebook so while some are separate probe by the states a. G. Into google will be announced next monday according to the wall street journal the possibility for finding antitrust issues here seems almost unlimited so is this a slam dunk for the agencies are where the market power of those monopolistic practices have been built far enough to push back on the investigators. I think its would be a very difficult road for states to pursue a i trust. Especially for an organization that not only operates nationally but internationally its much easier if that entity is just confined to the state so in order to really succeed on a day and i trust violation one you have to prove that there is a monopoly and 2 you have to prove that their Business Practices really extended that monopoly and even though they may be able to do it the big question is whats the relief going to be. The goal of and i trust regulation all the way back to the sherman their trust act of the 890 s. Is really to break up the cities create several other entities to really free up competition and give consumers more choices i cant imagine the state of new york breaking up facebook and what are they going to say were only going to break it up for new york consumers so i think whats going to happen here is putting pressure on facebook having them become a little bit more prieur in the way they conduct business and also i think what theyre looking for is political gain and maybe some unit of funds as well as International Regulatory turning miles edwards always welcome your insight thanks for joining us.
