1. British pound now worth $.89 USD.

2. Good. UK bargains on eBay. /nt

[unc70]

3. No, pound is now worth $1.12

The dollar is worth £0.89

That is still quite low.

4. The Cons will be kicked out of power sooner than most folks think

Liz cannot be Truss(ted)

[Tetrachloride]

5. Resigning now would save time.

The King would want to know why she left the conference.

I doubt that the King will be as traditional as his mother Queen Elizabeth II.

6. Now would be a good time for graduate programs in the UK.

.

My daughter went there and it cost $35K for school, books and a single studio apartment. Brexit hit as she just started to attend and she was given an $8K refund, so 1.4 years in London at a top Uni only $27K. I think the British Pound dropped to $1.20 USD. This is even lower. The UK needs foreign money in their schools and residential flats.

13. It was actually The Economist which started this

And the Economist said in a thundering editorial this week that Truss “blew up her own government”, and the few days she had in power that were not spent mourning the Queen’s death meant her honeymoon period had “the shelf-life of a lettuce”.

10. She'll be a footnote in the history books, but an interesting one.

14. A footnote to the queen's death

That is all

[BannonsLiver]

11. Do you still think Starmer is the same as Corbyn?

🙄

16. That remains to be seen; two years is a long time.

There is no reason to assume an Election before January 2025.

15. Tee hee. Another notch on Larry The Cat's scratching post.
