Rejected petition Parliament should make it clear by how much Brexit will impoverish the UK.

Rejected on 8 November 2017

It can be estimated that changes in FX rates for GBP have resulted in a loss of 300-400 £Bn of purchasing power for the UK GDP.
Prices are going up for staples.
It is owed to the populationthat they should be well informed as to what the probable and possible fiscal outcomes are for Brexit.

roughly equating the drop in purchasing power for the UK GDP denominated in GBP w.r.t to the major currencies

This calculation is of course very crude.

This last point is of course entirely irrelevant for such gigantic moves in the FX rates for GBP
