Nothing has happened yet so I continue to be amazed about the comments on the 'post Brexit' economy. Are people that naive?

Remain long Barclays btw.

personally I hope he stays - much better than Mr King was, who was more politically biased than Carney....

Carney, like most of the economists under estimated the strength of the economy. But we haven't left the union yet and invoked article 50....Only long term will we be able to tell if they got it right or wrong.

This is just another right wing media purge.....

Although I hope that when he does decide to leave he spills the beans to prove the political interference he has had to endure....

jw - who will there be left to blame once everyone has gone and there is still a mess? Wrong leaves on line? ;)

Great news, provided Mr Carney is NOT going to receive a taxpayer funded 'compensation' payoff, or a mention in the next dis-honours list. As Governors go, he has been less than inspiring, and has proven to be a follower rather than an innovator. A serial failure in this post..They all use, " leaving for family reasons", when they FAIL at their job. It,s as good an excuse as any.


Mark Carney could quit his Bank of England role within DAYS after his 'Project Fear' predictions were repeatedly proven wrong

Except he isn't though, that's a 4 min clip taken in isolation!

Bank of England to shelve record rate cut and QE as UK economic growth holds up well after Brexit vote.


The Bank of England will shelve plans to cut rates towards zero and charge up quantitative easing after UK economic growth defied expectations over the summer.

Despite warnings that uncertainty over Brexit would hit the economy, gross domestic product increased 0.5 per cent in the quarter to the end of September.

Brexit tonic for Barclay's as boss Jes Staley's instincts on investment banking prove correct

It reflects badly on us as a nation how popular they are and more so on the individuals that subscribe to their vitriol and awful, inaccurate stories.

I went to a talk last year by Christopher Jefferies who was pretty much accused of the murder of a local student (he was her wild haired landlord). Basically they just made a lot of it up, claiming "a source" said when they had no evidence whatsoever. He won a libel case, but it screwed his life. They ( star/express/mail) apologised in court, but they were only sorry they got caught.

Free press is essential, but equally so a a responsible one.

Doc. Those filthy tabloids at the daily fail etc.. are the reason we suffer as a nation.Adam curtis penned the hyper normalisation perspective. The fail and co are the authors of simple decay.

[dr biotech] 27/10/2016 22:06

DBs results seem to have had a positive impact across the sector. Would love to know those who take the express/ mails scare stories at face value would like to say what their beloved journals said abut that. Pethaps johnwise could fill us in? He seems to think they are the oracle of truth, given how often he posts links to them.
