Deal done

My thoughts go out to all them Johnson backers who shorted the pound to make a fortune from a no deal......allegedly 🤔
Those hedge funds are real, but they also can buy the currency funds back at any time after they borrow them. As soon as they realised the groundswell of public opinion desired a deal, they will have closed their shorts, and Bozo was "allowed" to play the knight in shining. If they shorted at £1=€1.35 and bought at today's price £1=€1.11 they've made >20% gains. That's 20% more than the same money would've made on the stock market.
 
"For the first time since 1973, the UK will be an independent coastal state with full control of its waters, he says.

The UK’s share of fish in its waters will rise substantially, he says, from roughly half today to closer to two-thirds in 5.5 years time."

Lies and contradicts himself in two sentences. Lower than vermin.

When asked where we did best in the negotiation - the answer was fish.

Ho Ho the old pound sterling movements.
Yes where are the brigade that always shout out loud when the pound makes a move downwards. All complete nonsense. Some of them even believe that the whole of Brexit was a vehicle for shorting the pound. Not for the first time the opposite has been the case

It has recovered a little bit. It's far from where it was before this whole Brexit fiasco started.

Scchh but dont tell anyone, but having a weaker currency can be very advantageous. China China China. Their incredible growth has been based on a weak currency for many years now

It actually benefits me as the majority of my pension will be in US dollars. Doesn't mean I like it.

And how's that working out for your average Chinese bloke?

That's what people say once a disaster has devalued their currency. It's called 'saving face'.
 
"This protects consumers on both sides of the Channel from billions in import tariffs on everyday goods. Given that four-fifths of UK food imports come from the EU, today’s announcement should afford households around the UK a collective sigh of relief."

No-one can say there are no benefits. Cost of food won't jump dramatically! There will probably still be enough to go around as well. We are truly blessed!

Exactly. Damage limitation dressed up as success.

Isn't it great we only lost 1-0 instead of 4-0.
 
Currency?

We have only just started.
Government paper said Brexit will lead to circa 4.1% decline in GDP (worse than Covid).
I’ve no idea what will happen to currency but the fat lady is only just warming her vocal chords.

Personal preference - I’d like it to decline. Selling a house in France at the moment
