It was because of Brexit. Even Brexiters admit that it was the vote that caused the pound to plummet in value. The cause and effect in this case is clear. They say it'll recover, and it probably will a bit. Perhaps it'll get back to where it was (~$1.44) before the vote, but then when Article 50 is enacted, it'll drop again. Then perhaps it will steadily recover for 2 years, and when the UK leaves the EU, it will drop again. Maybe at some point, 5 years maybe, it'll be back to a stable amount. The money lost in the interim won't come back though.
