Theresa May: media are misrepresenting my Brexit views
This article talks about Theresea May having to negotiate new trade deals with 27 other countries as well as new relationships. She is also quoted saying the media were responsible for the drop in the pound and not because of Brexit. Moreover, May was also saying that it was up to her and her government to 'set things right' as post referendum Britain has been in a bit of a shambles. May also addresses the £1 billion promised to mental health in the uk saying no more will be added to this but school awareness programmes will take place.
-British pound at a 2 month low
-£1 billion to mental health
-New trade deals with over 27 countries
I believe that the media is partly to blame for the decrease in the pound as this is similar to the oil crisis in Germany in which the media claimed there to be a shortage which caused somewhat of a moral panic. Also, foreign minister Boris Johnson has met with Trump to start discussing Britain's first trade deal. The problem with the media today is the lack of fact checking which doesnt appear to be getting any better and this confuses lots of people and according to Theresea may has caused the pound to drop yet again.
