Pound could be worth the SAME as the euro by next summer

    UK holidaymakers hoping for a break in Europe could be hit hard in the pocket next year with experts predicting the pound and euro will cost the SAME. Currency experts warn that the pound could reach parity with the euro next year - spiking the price of a European break. Sterling fell 0.68% today to fresh five-year lows against the euro at 1.137, its lowest since October 2011. This compares to more than 1.30 euros to the pound prior to the Brexit vote in June. Now there has been a warning that by 2017 the pound could be worth the same as the euro. According to the Daily Post It would mean more expensive European trips for Uk holidaymakers but could boost the tourism industry in North Wales by making Britain cheaper for foreign travellers.

Britain works for everyone: PM Theresa May

    Theresa May has vowed that a change is going to come as she set out her plan for the Conservatives to occupy the centre ground of British politics and create a country that works for everyone. In her keynote address to the Tory Party conference in Birmingham, the Prime Minister spoke of her determination to make Britain into a "Great Meritocracy" based on the values of "fairness and opportunity". She said: "Come with me and seize the day." She made a bold bid for traditional Labour territory, branding Jeremy Corbyn's party "the new nasty party" and declaring that the Tories were now "truly the party of the workers, the party of the NHS, the party of public servants".

UK home secretary proposed to prevent migrants taking jobs that British people can do

    Amber Rudd has hinted she could ditch plans to force companies to publish the number of foreign staff they employ. The home secretary had said the proposal was to prevent migrants taking jobs that “British people can do”. Labour said it showed Theresa May is presiding over the return of the “Nasty Party” and accused the Conservatives of becoming “increasingly xenophobic”. Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning, Rudd said it was “not something we’re definitely going to do”. “The purpose if this review is to look at whether they are doing enough to train people locally when they could be able to do that.
