Falling pound, the Queens funeral and is 0.5 on the Richter scale a big number?
The value of the pound against other currencies has been incredibly volatile ever since the Chancellor\u2019s \u2018mini-budget\u2019. We ask how much we should worry and look at how much taxes will really fall. Also did 4.1 billion people really watch the Queen\u2019s funeral? Gas prices are falling \u2013 so why aren\u2019t energy bills? There are early signs that new covid variants could cause another spike in cases over the winter. And with the government lifting a moratorium on fracking, we ask how seismic a number the current limit of 0.5 on the Richter scale actually is.
