GBP has fallen further on news cross-party Brexit talks have collapsed, raising the prospects of a no-deal exit. Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, said they have 'gone as far as they can' but ultimately talks on a compromise deal have ended without an agreement. Meanwhile a timetable for Theresa May's departure is apparently being set out, but the Prime Minister is determined to try and push her withdrawal agreement forward for a fourth time. Boris Johnson is an early front runner to take over. GBP/EUR has already fallen for 9 consecutive days, its worst run in 15 years, and at the time of writing it looked like we were heading for double digits.
