Bank of England governor was needlessly irritated by Jacob Rees-Mogg’s select committee prodding
Mark Carney doesn’t help himself by sounding so irritated when asked an awkward question. If you’re governor of the Bank of England, it’s best to remain good-humoured even when Jacob Rees-Mogg is prodding you in the ribs.
But let’s stick to what Carney and the Bank have actually said about Brexit. On the facts, they’ve done nothing wrong. It would be odd if Threadneedle Street, with a mandate to promote monetary and financial stability, had nothing to say about a referendum that has potential consequences on both fronts.
