She said based on no factual information whatsoever.

Jesus fucking Christ, if a person wasn't worried about the Brexit before, all they have to do is listen to the rhetoric coming from the "Leave" side and how they are all convinced that the economy will recover based on nothing more than their own hunches.

Suddenly everyone in the UK is a fucking expert in the global economy...

Theresa May v Andrea Leadsom to be next prime minister

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36737426

Quote:Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom will battle it out to become the next leader of the Conservative Party after Michael Gove was eliminated from the contest.

After the second MPs' ballot, Home Secretary Mrs May finished with 199 votes, Energy Minister Mrs Leadsom 84 and Mr Gove, the justice secretary, 46.

Conservative members will now decide the winning candidate, with the result due on 9 September.

The winner will become the UK's second female prime minister.

May is by far the better candidate. Leadsom is, to be frank, another lunatic.

Right now the damage seems to be contained. With the pound in free fall mode. Which makes imports more expensive and will speed up inflation at the counter.

UK starts post-Brexit India trade talks

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36740101

Quote:The UK is launching its first trade mission since the vote to leave the EU, as Business Secretary Sajid Javid meets the Indian government in Delhi.

He will discuss how the trading relationship with India might work with the UK outside the European Union.

The business secretary will also visit the US, China, Japan and South Korea in the coming months.

India is the third biggest foreign investor in the UK, according to UK Trade and Investment.

Total trade between the two countries was £16.55bn last year, the government body said.

Mr Javid said: "There is a strong bilateral trade relationship between our two countries and I am determined that we build on this."
