Indeed, they prop-up the system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd third, a renegotiation of the Brexit deal, which would be put to a second referendum, would create many more months of uncertainty for businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deVere CEO concludes: \u201cLabour\u2019s economic agenda is a risky gamble. Its potential for serious adverse consequences is massive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd whilst the radical plans are already far-reaching, this might be just the beginning, with more misguided policies to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>deVere Group is one of the world\u2019s largest independent advisors of specialist global financial solutions to international, local mass affluent, and high-net-worth clients.\u00a0 It has a network of more than 70 offices across the world, over 80,000 clients and $12bn under advisement<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By George Prior Jeremy Corbyn\u2019s Labour party\u2019s radical Marxist manifesto will bring far-reaching economic chaos for Brexit-battered Britain, affirms the boss of one of the world\u2019s largest independent financial advisory organizations.
