In the run-up to the EU referendum, Tories accused Carney of interfering in the campaign by warning about the economic effects of a vote to leave. Here are some of the Tory criticisms of Carney:On 8 March, the backbencher Jacob Rees-Mogg accused Carney of intervening in the referendum debate when the BoE should have kept out. On 13 June, Bernard Jenkin, who chairs the public administration and constitutional affairs committee, wrote to Carney telling him to stay out of the referendum debate just as he would a general election. You are prohibited from making any public comment, or doing anything which could be construed as taking part in the referendum debate. On 21 October, Michael Gove, the former justice secretary and Tory leadership candidate, said Carney could not accept criticism and that questioning his decisions was treated like a thought crime.
