The trouble is, past devaluations of sterling have not always led to greater competitiveness.
In the 1960s, they were a cover for higher government spending.
In the 1970s, they were an excuse for an inflationary wage-price spiral that left nobody better off. This time, we should make sure a cheaper pound strengthens our economy.
