“I’m strongly of the view that the government would win a vote of no confidence, I don’t see Jeremy Corbyn being able to come together with the numbers, nor do I see any prospect of him leading a so called national unity government.”
“He’s the most unpopular leader of the opposition we’ve ever had and the idea that he’s going to lead a unity government I think is ridiculous.”
The above comments are likely to add to the recent optimism seen around the pound, as GBP/USD holds firmer near 1.2120 region in Friday's European trading.
