UK foreign sec Boris Johnson out on the wires 28 Feb

  • issue of Northern Ireland being used in an attempt to keep UK in customs union with EU
  • there are solutions to solve the Northern Ireland border problem

No rush Bojo but do tell us as and when you discover any. Or is your PM going to shower us all with magic beans in her speech on Friday?

The Irish PM also just out with this:

  • it's up to the UK to bring proposals to the table if backstop agreement on Irish border not to be triggered

All very delicately poised.

GBPUSD currently 1.3895 having found support into 1.3880 again. Expect sellers around 1.3920 with larger interest between 1.3935-50
