GBP or Euro or something safer

Relying on income from GBP interest in UK bank as I live cheaply overseas. Worry that my income will be affected if the GBP crashes with the possible near future political chaos in the UK ....or do I just read too much news!?
Anyway what would be a safer alternative to keeping gbp in the ISAs in UK bank. If I change it to euro and keep it in revolutbor something similar?.... I will not get the same interest.
Thank you for any investment suggestions.

    You're probably worrying too much; where do you live? Why don't you invest it there and earn interest in the currency you spend day to day? 

    Expats tend to have problems opening accounts in Britain but you could look at offshore options e.g., Lloyds International and Skipton International in the Channel Islands offer current and savings accounts in multiple currencies.
