The pound goes up UK goods cost more.

The pound goes up UK goods cost more.

And in many industries the cost to make goes down.  Worth noting it's not a simple science either, certain things and deals are done in differing currencies.

[SydneyRover]

I do understand that but thanks bfyp

[BillyStubbsTears]

Hang on.

Before we start congratulating Johnson on the Pound going up. It's still trading 15-20% lower than it was at the start of the Referendum campaign.

If Johnson punched you in the face then helped you clean up the blood, would you sing his praises?

[drfchound]

The pound is set to to be the strongest best performing currency this year,apparently investment funds all over the world are pouring money into the UK all Boris has to do is to make what's left of the Heavy industrial sites attractive to investors and just watch the jobs, take Flints  old constituency, A measly £300 million to put an East Coast Parkway station into finingley, The Hundreds of Acres at Hatfield turned into industrial enterprise zones, that's the job done here. Wealth generates Tax revenue ,generates sustainable funding in Public serves, just look a Germany.

You can forget developing all the land around Hatfield.

[i_ateallthepies]

The fact is, we are now stuck with him for 5 years. I really do genuinely hope he will represent and deliver to those who’ve voted Tory for the first time. He has such responsibility on his shoulders. Thatcher was the same in 79 and shat on the working class. I hope Boris doesn’t do the same.

Why would he feel the need to go that, Herbert?  Those people voted for him and his manifesto, I didn't see much in it that promised anything to Labour voters voting for him.

the bit about Persimmon at the end is much much more news worthy

So it seems the oven ready deal was n’t really oven ready as no deal is back on the table and the pound crashes again, that will help his City mates make a killing on the pound

Yep.  Another of Johnson's lies that the populace seem to lap up.
 
But then, the Tories are all at it.  I was listening to Matt Hancock on BBC Breakfast TV this morning explaining why 'retaining' 18,500 existing nurses is 'increasing' nursing numbers by 18,500. The more he stuttered and stammered the more stupid he looked - but a significant part of the population will like what they hear, they will believe it and undoubtedly repeat it.
 
Lie and Deny seems to be the order of the day.
 

[SydneyRover]

It troubling Kato that there is a large %age of the country happy to accept this as the norm, what is the incentive to improve?

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

[selby]

   Of course it is oven ready Filo, it is just that they are now able to turn the heat up.

Of all the f**king idiots in the Cabinet, Hancock is way out in front. He's like a little boy summoned to the front of class to sing a carol who has no idea what the first line is.

[ravenrover]

Or when asked for his favourite Carol he said the one who presents the weather

[SydneyRover]

Hancock declares that only himself and his party are in a position to declare what the truth is. I look and sound stupid but I don't care he said as he pulled another idea from his rectum, it's obvious that those that voted for us don't care either so I can say anything I like 

''Matt Hancock denies U-turn over reintroduction of nurse bursary

The health secretary has denied the government is being forced to clear up its own mistakes by announcing a partial reintroduction of bursary grants for student nurses, which the Conservatives abolished in 2016.

In the first major speech by a cabinet minister since last week’s election, Matt Hancock said the annual grants of between £5,000 and £8,000 would play a key part in the government’s promise of having 50,000 extra nurses in place within five years''

Leavers, just look what you could have won.  Oh wait, you did....
