Over the weekend, rumours started circulating about the next general election and who may be the best challenger to Boris, who is the best candidate in the Tory party to take over from Boris, all eyes pointed towards Rishi Sunak. Arguably the one MP who was shined through this pandemic and risen through the ranks. His calm, clear and direct approach has catapulted him as a front runner, his furlough scheme and bounce back loans helping keep as many people in employment and many businesses still running. What will be interesting to see is how all that is paid for, with early indications pointing to tax increases. How Rishi handles the next 18 months will be key to his potential running as PM.

With a key week ahead and six key weeks to follow, why not pick up the phone and call your currency consultant to be well informed.
