    The pound set to devalue

    Pound set to decline

    The trajectory is now for a no deal hard Brexit, so watch the pound sink.
    I'm alright Jack

    Yeah but all those shares valued in dollars will soar, leading to a even higher FTSE 100 levels.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Exports will boom, unemployment is at record lows and wages are rising fast.

      Exactly what the UK needs. It also makes our private and public debt smaller in USD terms, and attracts foreign investment.

        Most of UK exports rely on imports of components and raw materials. A fall in the pound does not cause an export boom.

          Majority of the cost of most exports is labour costs, cheap currency means cheap labour.

            Yeah but all commodities priced in USD means everything will be even more expensive

                  In car manufacturing, labour costs are typically 10-15% of the total cost. Components are around 60% of costs.
                  Other costs are marketing and dealer mark-ups

                    Marketing and dealer mark-ups are not costs of manufacturing.
