    £50K will still be worth £50K, what £50K will buy is another question.

    What happened to it when the Pound fell a couple of years back after the vote, and fell a few weeks back? The same things will happen. And to your ISA.

    The pound has pretty much lost much of its 'value' already.

    With a bit of luck, no deal means making some of it back from falling house prices.
