the opposition Labour Party re: a confidence motion against UK PM May if her
Brexit deal fails & the Telegraph reporting that May's chief Brexit adviser
Oliver Robbins has secretly warned her that the customs backstop is a "bad
outcome" for the UK all limiting GBP, which now trades unchanged at $1.2750.
- USD/JPY deals 20 pips higher at Y113.75, with bulls eying Y114.00. Looking
