Brexit to blame for rising inflation, says former Bank of England governor

Mark Carney says Bank's negative predictions about consequences of leaving EU proven to be the case'

Brexit is to blame for the soaring inflation driving the cost of living crisis in the UK, a former governor of the Bank of England has said.

Mark Carney, who pro-Brexit figures said should have been fired for warning about the economic dangers of leaving the EU prior to the vote, said he took no pleasure in being proven right because the resultant hardship had been placed on the backs of millions of ordinary people.
