You can trace the pounds decline to Brexit. Can we conclude now, that for myriad reasons, Brexit has been a total failure?

Get on fx Pro and short the pound mate, you will clean up.

Stamp Duty was the big winner for me
We're looking in 2023 to buy our 1st home, today will save us £8k
Nothing from an IR35 has given me much extra in terms of take home pay

While the Tories have been indulging their teenage libertarian fantasies the Labour party have been exposed as the right wing shills that they are and not a peep from any British media outlet.

Does anyone here know if Kwarteng refusing to release an OBR report has any previous precedent?
