With a week to go until the general election, predictions of a Conservative victory are pushing the pound higher. Sterling has hit a fresh 31-month high against the euro this morning, touching €1.185 for the first time since May 2017. It’s also continuing to climb against the US dollar, touching $1.314 - a seven-month high.

People need to question this misleading tweet and compare it to the actual headline:

more manipulation of the markets to put the cons in a good light, so how much US and russian funds flooded the exchanges to buy sterling

Long may it continue, regardless of election results.
