Mikisteel Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Boris is a complete player. Will say anything to get what he wants. He wants the power but he's not foolish enough to risk being the PM that drove the UK into a meltdown. A complete <deleted> yes but not a fool.

bartender100 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 All the doom and gloom lol for the Pound, Italy is almost very certainly going to default on its loans and leave the Euro and possibly the EU, it will be catastrophic for Euro land, the Pound could become a safe haven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG1 Blue Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 It's all about the uncertainty. The longer those remainer MPs drag out Brexit, the worse it will get for the pound. The latest antics in the HoC where they've effectively stopped us from leaving on 31st Oct have worsened the situation further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
