Jacob Rees-Mogg has labelled Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, an "enemy of Brexit" and attacked the BBC in an interview with the state-funded broadcaster.

He was telling Emma Barnett on BBC's 5 Live that many are too negative about Brexit - including the broadcaster she works for.

Mr Rees-Mogg said: "Mark Carney is one of the enemies of Brexit, he has attacked it consistently. He's been consistently wrong."

He also commented on what he thinks is the anti-Brexit lean of the BBC, telling the broadcaster: "It's the constant refrain of the BBC - in spite of Brexit there's some good news, because of Brexit there's some bad news".

The MP for North East Somerset questioned whether the "BB" in "BBC" should stand for "Brexit Bashing" instead of "British Broadcasting".

Describing the conversation around leaving the EU, he disputed claims that it is negatively impacting the economy, explaining that the "fall of the pound has helped the economy" and said the fall in GDP is because we had such strong growth in 2016.
