Money Minute Thursday 12 December: the most important election of the century so far
There’s only one story in today's Money Minute – it’s the day Britain goes to the polls in the most important election of the century so far.
There's only one story in the UK this morning it's the day Britain goes to the polls.It's no exaggeration to say that this election is probably the most important of the century so far.If the ruling Conservative party wins a clear majority, then some form of Brexit is almost certain to go ahead.
