Friendly reminder that our next PM is someone who tried to fabricate evidence on a recreational drug report, banned face sitting porn, is pushing hard for an anti-privacy surveillance act and was found in contempt of court after illegally detaining someone in an immigration case.

Yes my comment was about the move/reaction today :confused: I though that was pretty clear, I've emphasized 'today' a few times - do you understand now that I was talking about today? Or are you going to tell me more about where it was last week or how it also moves on other days?

So what you meant to say was "the gbp exchange rate fluctuated a bit between the same sort of levels it has been fluctuating at for the past week, ending up with no discernible gain at all "
 
This seems a correlation not causation argument?

If it fluctuated the same way on a daily basis last week then it's hard to attribute the same 'minor' fluctuations today on TMs announcement

no I'll say that there was a clear reaction here to the news - though more so in equities

anything else is you just reading more into the comment and/or attacking straw men... while waffling about last week etc..etc..

I saw that and laughed, it was a whistle of I couldn't give a ****, it's just all part of the plan from higher up, whoever they are :)

75% of what has happened since the vote just does not seem real.

Are you a member of Momentum or the Socialist Workers Party?

Exactly it isn't "up" compared to anything really.

No you've been called out on posting utter bobbins and now you don't like it.
 
What's more interesting is Theresa parking tanks on Labour's lawn already with her One Nation speech. Neither Eagle nor Corbyn have left anyone fighting the rearguard action while they sort their disagreements out. Could be a total rout in the making. I can see it now: 'One Nation; One Party; One State.':o She can play it anyway she likes without any strong opposition.

I wonder what cushy cabinet post Leadsoms been promised?

Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, or wherever else Tories hide their embarrassments. :p A few speculative lists have emerged in the run up to the result but none are official, so I guess we'll see after Cameron leaves office on Wednesday. Although a stability and continuity cabinet is more likely than not, with a few swaps between people already in it probably on the cards to head off grumblings, strikes and the like. Would be surprised if Hunt managed to hang on in Health.

What utter bobbins? Try to stick with what has been posted, so far you're just waffling and arguing against points that haven't been made

in order to make this really simple for you here is the post you took issue with:

in other news, for people who seem to be interested in short term moves in financial markets - the FTSE is up today as is GBP

just a comment re: moves today (in relation to the new Tory leader) - here is what the above post was in reference to

So, just to reiterate - this was a comment at the end of a post mentioning the market's reaction today to news directly relevant to this thread. You've decided to waffle about last week or ignore the reaction in equities and point out that the GBP move is only rather small (which isn't exactly surprising given the current brexit uncertanty, potential rate decision etc..). However I'm not making a comment on the longer term direction but simply mentioning the reaction today as it relates to the thread subject. Do you understand that now or do you want to carry on attacking some straw man by telling me about where the markets were last week as so far your posts have simply been that?

Basically the same as it was at 6.00 this morning bar a neglible amount of zero point zero something percent so even "today" it hasn't gone up.

Again, "up" is a comparative term. It isn't up compared with this morning, it isn't up compared with last week.

What is it "up" against? Please do explain and enlighten us all. Unless you meant "at this exact moment in time the pound is 0.003% up compared to what it was this morning after going through the regular fluctuations we see on a daily basis"
