Key Quotes:
"If anything, MPs seemed supportive—change the policy, not the Prime Minister, seems to be the MO for the Brexiteers at the moment.'
"Political risks have diminished somewhat but have not disappeared. UK data reports earlier were mixed—a wider trade balance and weaker than expected industrial production data (despite a solid gain in construction output) were offset by better growth momentum (GDP increased 0.2% in the 3 months through May) and stronger services sector activity in May."
