Will there be a Boris bounce or Brexit hangover? How the new PM could affect the pound in your pocket

From This is Money Podcast This is Money

Out go Theresa May and Philip Hammond, in come Boris Johnson and Sajid David – will it result in your finances falling out of top gear, or going on a grand tour?

That's the question editor Simon Lambert, assistant editor Lee Boyce and host Georgie Frost tackle this week, as we have a new Prime Minister at the helm, and a new Chancellor as his sidekick.

Boris has hinted at a stamp duty cut, an income tax cut, a fix for the social care crisis and promised more police officers and better infrastructure. Can he deliver on all that?

And, more pertinently, will Mr Johnson manage to succeed when it comes to Brexit by Halloween?

We discuss all this and what other tricks may he have up his sleeve to help your finances?

Meanwhile, we reveal why you may want to think twice before logging into public wifi at coffee shops and hotels.

And there are top tips on how you can fight the financial fear of the school holidays.

And we also discuss why going for a classic car maybe a better investment when it comes to convertibles and celebrate the mundane vehicles that used to be a common sight on our roads, but no longer are.
