Haven’t looked it up but I thought the ER had been around 1.35 for many a year. Obvs lower now, but the post seems BS to me
Aye I am anti Brexit but it doesn’t help the cause when every fart that leads to a follow through is blamed on brexit. Makes a fairly easy rebuttal and weakens any arguments that are actually based on fact.

£1 was $1.3556 31 Jan 22, yesterday $1.239

"How has Brexit affected the value of sterling?​

Since the Brexit vote in 2016, the exchange rate of the pound against other leading currencies has fallen significantly. This seems to reflect a generally negative outlook among international investors for the UK’s economic prospects outside the European Union.​

At the start of 2021, the pound was approximately 15% weaker relative to the euro than it was on the eve of the referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union (EU) in June 2016. Sterling was also 20% weaker than it was when the EU Referendum Act received Royal Assent in December 2015."


 
I dunno all the ins and outs of this but not sure Brexit can be blamed. In Portugal fuel prices are over 2EUR a litre as well. About 80 cents up on a few months ago
Similar in France too.
The £ has been exchangeing at between 1,17 and 1,20 € for some time now, since well before the increase in petrol/diesel prices at the pumps.

No it’s definitely Brexit mate. Brexit is causing the USA inflation to go ever higher and is almost certainly responsible for grain not getting out of Ukraine and to the world. In other news Brighton and Hove’s Green Council, who abolished the use of weed killer, said that Brexit was responsible for the amount of weeds growing on their pavements……
 
Can we just say Brexit hasn't helped this entire mess the Country is in Pete, or have you still got your starry eyed everything is perfect under Johnson view ? Serious question has Brexit been a success for our Country in your view, if yes how ?
