david davis, boris johnson -- these are voices, but for theresa may, mainly voices to be managed as she to hold her coalition together. they are not really, i suspect, the ones drawing up the strategy. francine: what are the chances of a general election at this point? because there is no opposition, dovely, to be top down -- in terms of widespread politics, does that mean she is the prime minister the next 10 years? rupert: it must be counting to call a general election when you look at the polling, which suggests a landslide victory for the conservative party at this point. one thing they will have learned from what happened to gordon brown in 2007 is, if you are thinking of pulling a snap election, the last thing you do is even hint at it. we will not know anything about it until it happens, if it is going to happen. maybe this is too much of a conspiracy theory. i think the march timing of a maye 50 would work with election. you can say, i am triggering article 50. here is my principles for brexit. let's have an election to give a mandate for this. if i was theresa may looking ahead

but are we on a path towards a hard brexit -- and a hard brexit , despite the fact that david davis saysd brexit would would leave us completely exposed in 2019. i think that if people started to discount that properly then i think we could see a big drop in the pound towards parity which would overshoot and it would be very uncomfortable. guy: many people would argue it is pretty chaotic now, but that is only one view. is theresa may playing politics or poker right now? you know what,d, i can't lay out my negotiating strategy because i am playing poker. she is having to do a little bit of politics, but which one is it? sony: theresa may, if you look at her history as a parochial politician, one of the most anti-immigrant home secretary's is playingr had, she poker by rules that the rest of the eu does not recognize. this is her big mistake. she think she's playing poker but she's playing very dangerous politics. one which she is certain to lose. many people are starting to think of the u.k. in terms of political development and as currency volatility with asset ince issues and volatilit

david davis argued the decline would help exporters. let's discuss more.and diane, thank you both. from a truly economic point of view, there was a feeling amongst a lot of people in this country that as the pound slide it means it is good for exports, it means the economy will gain traction and tourists will come to the shores. but if it is too protracted or to violent it hints at a weak economy. diane: one of the interesting issues, i have a lot of clients who are global manufacturers. the production facilities in the u.k. are running full out. they want to take full advantage of the low value of the pound and they have put all investment on hold. they are depleting these factories, doing everything they can. it gives you a distorted initial serve in activity from these bacteria -- from these factories, and there is no future. that is the way you have to look at this particular reaction to the weaker pound because we do not know what the trade relationships will be, what kind .f tariffs will be out there no investment, it shriveled up overnight. to run t

brexit secretary david davis will be in scotland today as theresa may's government seeks policye on awide for brexit. they said failure to deliver a brexit deal that works for scotland will leave them to take another stab for independence. nissan has signaled that early discussions with the u.k. about its prospects of future in the country have been politic. there was a meeting last week with theresa may. >> with the prime minister, we shared the fact that no matter what is going to happen, the competitiveness of nissan in the u.k. needs to be at least preserved, if not reinforced. as long as we agree on this and everybody takes responsibility for his part of the game, we agree on the essentials. so we do not have to worry too much about what is going to happen for brexit as long as you have the assurance that the government will make sure that nissan will continue to be competitive. news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries -- this is bloomberg. francine: we are all in pink because of cancer awareness. it was completely done on

phillip: something damaging to the cause but the real issue at hand is donald tusk and david davis have between soft brexit and hard brexit. it is either hard brexit or stay in. all the attempts that have been made to stay have certain sectors in the european market or the customs union, they do not stand up on reflection. it looks to me like we are heading for hard brexit. francine: do we not need a politically class in charge that has a plan and is very decided and inclusive for everyone, including the chancellor who is well respected by the international markets? phillip: what we have is essentially ideology facing reality and the reality is that all the costs of brexit look -- fairly enormous, 2% to 4% of u.k. gdp. if you compound that over the years, it comes to an enormous number which will have a massive impact domestically on the u.k. economy. the prime minister realizes, the prime minister wants something quite reasonable, control of migration and not being subject to the european courts of justice. before people say that that is fundamentally against the four pillars, germany
