Rees-Mogg says BBC broke impartiality rules by suggesting mini-budget caused market turmoil – video

The business secretary, Jacob Rees-Mogg, has accused the BBC of breaching its duty of impartiality by linking the drop in the pound and instability in pension funds to Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget.

'You suggest something is causal, which is a speculation,' Rees-Mogg said. 'What has caused the effect in pension funds ... is not necessarily the mini-budget. I think jumping to conclusions about causality is not meeting the BBC requirement for impartiality'
