How is the UK supposed to get behind Theresa May if her party can't?
Political issues are the focus of today's headlines.
Theresa May is facing a lot of pressure from her backbenchers and politicians to step down. Although Matt understands their vote of no confidence in Theresa May, this is a critical time for the UK in negotiating the best deal possible from Brexit. The divorce bill currently must be a priority as a lot of figures are being flown around. It is very hard for May, if her party are not even backing her, how is the government and the country meant to?
Matt is concerned that Europe will see this weakness and the UK will suffer. This by Europe trying to get a few more billion into their deal as she is in such a weak decision. This has not been good for the Pound however the FTSE hasn't even rallied off the back of it.
