Uk Losing Its Aaa Credit Rating;

[LazyGun]

One of the major credit rating agencies has downgraded the UKs credit rating status from Aaa to Aa1. Serious consequences for our economy, or a storm in a teacup?

Blimey, Sterling just opened 100 points lower.

Isn't it the case that every country in the G7- apart from Germany and Canada (I think) = has suffered a credit rating reduction and has a rating of AA1 or lower, so whilst it is not good news for the UK, and is politically embarrassing for Gideon, I don't think it is any great surprise to the markets. And maybe a further fall in the value of the pound is not such a bad thing

So? What am I supposed to do about it? Offer my piggy bank?

I am sure Gideon would welcome any contributions from pretty much anyone at this point, Daisy.
