Brexit 50p: Millions of commemorative coins thrown into doubt as delay looms

Plans for millions of 50p coins to commemorate Brexit day have been thrown into doubt after MPs derailed Boris Johnson's chances of fast-tracking his deal through parliament by Halloween.

Sajid Javid, the chancellor, announced plans for new coins to mark Brexit earlier this year – shortly before Mr Johnson won the Conservative leadership contest – following enthusiastic calls from Conservative MPs.

But with the prime minister’s Brexit timetable in doubt, and the UK awaiting a verdict from the EU on the length of a third extension, the Treasury refused to confirm whether production had begun on the first tranche of coins.

The confusion came after it emerged that three million of the coins were to be imprinted with the Brexit date of 31 October and ready to spend by the end of the month.

Treasury sources told the Daily Telegraph that the coins had to be approved at the privy council so the coins had "legal tender status for when it is introduced on the day we leave".

One source said: "Three million will be ready for exit day and 10 million will be struck within the first year."

The new 50p pieces were due to be emblazoned with the words “peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations” and the 31 October date of the UK's anticipated departure from the EU.

A further seven million were then due to be minted over the course of year – considerably more than the 10,000 commemorative coins planned by Mr Javid’s predecessor, Philip Hammond.

The Royal Mint regularly issues commemorative currency, with notable coins minted in honour of the 2012 London Olympics.

The coin was expected to join a line of EU-inspired coinage in the UK, including one when the nation joined the European Economic Community in 1973, and another when the UK held the presidency of the EU Council in 1998.

The Treasury declined to comment when approached by The Independent.

It comes as parliament was plunged into fresh uncertainty after MPs rejected Mr Johnson's plan to rush his Brexit deal through the Commons in just three days - despite having given their approval, in principle, to his Brexit deal minutes earlier.

Mr Johnson vowed to "pause" the legislation in the wake of the result, leaving Brexit in limbo, as the prime minister is now effectively at the mercy of EU leaders who will decide whether to grant Britain a further extension.

Boris Johnson’s hopes of achieving Brexit by his “do or die” deadline of 31 October may look increasingly remote, but there is little immediate sign that Labour is going to be able to capitalise.

The Conservatives already enjoy a healthy poll lead of 10 points, on average, according to Britain Elects, with the government on 35%. That leaves Jeremy Corbyn’s opposition on 25%, while the Liberal Democrats sit at 18%.

It is a figure so dismal that the party is behind where Michael Foot was in the run-up to the 1983 election, according to the elections expert John Curtice of Strathclyde University – and would result in a Conservative majority of about 60 on forecasts prepared by Electoral Calculus based on October’s polling. And this is with Nigel Farage’s Brexit party at 12%.

on the other dont british people all just lie to opinion pollsters?

It's about time.
Polls predicted that Theresa May would keep (increase?) her majority when she called an election, didn't they?

Edit: Yup.

Wikipedia posted:

Opinion polls had consistently shown strong leads for the Conservatives over Labour. From a 21-point lead, the Conservatives' lead began to diminish in the final weeks of the campaign. In a surprising result, the Conservative Party made a net loss of 13 seats with 42.4% of the vote (its highest share of the vote since 1983), whereas Labour made a net gain of 30 seats with 40.0% (its highest vote share since 2001 and the first time the party had gained seats since 1997). This was the closest result between the two major parties since February 1974, and their highest combined vote share since 1970.

A 21 point lead in the polls turning into a defeat at the actual election makes that "healthy poll lead of 10 points" look a lot less healthy.

Flip side, that was the election where nobody voted for the liberal democrats anymore. Pretty much everyone either voted for the tories or labour. People will again this time. If 12% switch from tories to ukip/brexit/whatever and 16% switch from labour to the lib dems, thats a 4% difference which is devastating in terms of a 42.4 vs 40.0 election you were already on the wrong side of :(

Do british polls ever accurately predict anything though? who even knows?

sort of? a big part of the image that bojo tries to project is tied up to a sort of weird macho ideal that actually working hard is for scrubs who aren't clever enough to just wing it. johnson has breezed through eton and oxford by virtue of being fairly bright and intensely privileged, but all he's really learned is how to project an air of old-school classical burgerliche ausbildung. so when an interviewer asks about which former politician he'd like to be he can credibly go off on a tangent about pericles, and he uses lots of cultural references and long words, which protects a sort of learnedness while his hair and carefully disheveled style communicates that don't worry i'm not one of those pretentious nerds, this is just who i am

he's the smartest kid in the room who was always charming enough to wiggle out of doing any actual work, and who developed a contempt of effort. this has been combined with the traditional sociopathy of the british ruling class and being ridiculously spoiled to create a man who doesn't know, doesn't care and really doesn't agree that there's much of a point in this whole knowing things business - that's what the geeks are for
