'Plummeting pound means Scotland must move on from sterling swiftly'

Kairin van Sweeden has warned that sterling is no longer a stable currency and an independent Scotland should establish its own, as quickly as possible

THE plummeting value of the pound is a strong sign the UK is “going downhill” and it’s time “to jump ship” according to Scotonomics co-host Kairin van Sweeden.

Following a warning from powerful Wall Street banks that the pound is risking a crisis only usually seen in emerging markets, she said Scotland had to “get out” of the Union as quickly as possible.
