UK Borrowing Surge Puts Pressure on the Pound

[Tunde]

UK government borrowing hit £18bn in August, the highest in five years. That’s huge, and it’s already weighing on the pound. Honestly, it reminds me of when the naira struggled after heavy borrowing, it always filters down to regular people in the end. Shoppers and savers usually feel it first.

• £18bn borrowed in August 2025
• Weakens investor confidence
• Raises questions on fiscal stability

Do you think the UK can handle this debt without deeper cuts or higher taxes?

18bn in just one month?? That's mad. feels like normal workers will end up paying it all back with tax hikes again.
