    I just love his policies - devalue the pound and all is sweetness and light. No thought to inflation wrecking personal finances and increased cost of imported fuel.

    O K if you are a Labour "supporter" on benefits I suppose.

    The pound has already been devalued by the markets to the tune of 25% since 2007/8.

    The effect of the last formal devaluation in 1992 during the ERM crisis was that it prompted a boom in manufacturing and was the defacto starting point of the 1992-2008 boom.

    Also 60% of the cost of fuel is tax to treasury.
