It was a bit of a long shot anyway
The pound is making fresh lows for the day on the headlines above as Lord Doherty has rejected a request for a temporary halt to the prorogation of parliament, which was brought forward by a cross-party group of politicians.
As mentioned, it was a bit of a long shot anyway considering the circumstances. As to why lawmakers felt the need to bring this to the Scottish court, it is because the English courts will never rule against the royal family and the prorogation request was made by Johnson and approved by the Queen.
Cable drops to a low of 1.2159 from 1.2180 earlier but is still holding on a little around 1.2160 levels currently.
