Optimism about the China - US trade war led ('risk') currencies higher in early trade, most of them still positive (from Friday's closing levels)

But, not cable … 'gap' filled:

Just scanning though some weekend GBP specific headlines, BB related, of course:

UK Times:

Revealed: Brexit legal advice could sink Theresa May (gated)

  • Britain would be trapped "indefinitely" in a customs union with Brussels if MPs back Theresa May's Brexit deal, according to leaked details of the attorney-general's legal advice, which the government has suppressed.

UK Telegraph:

Theresa May's chief Brexit adviser warned her that customs backstop is 'bad outcome' for Britain (gated)

  • Oliver Robbins warned in a letter to the Prime Minister that there is no legal "guarantee" that Britain will be able to break off from the backstop, potentially leaving the UK trapped in a Customs Union with the EU.

GBP is the most dirty shirt.
