We do have a responsibility as a public authority to be open to the leaders of parties in the Westminster system. I think that’s fine. I think we must do that.

I do actually think we’re encouraging innovation, so I think we are doing the right thing there.

If you reduce the size of the markets that we trade with, so we reduce our export markets, then that does tend to have a negative impact on growth.

I think the level of activity and growth in the economy has been lower.

I think holding is the right position to be in at the moment for that, so I think it's a sensible decision in the light of the news.

Energy prices have come down quite a lot, but they're still above where they were before this conflict started. Inflation is higher than we expected it to be.

The Bank's job is to make sure that doesn't turn into sustained inflation above our 2% target.

Oil prices have fallen in recent days, and that's encouraging.

Unfortunately, fake adverts impersonating the Bank of England and other central banks are on the rise.

It remains important that we do not cut bank rate too quickly or by too much

There’s an upside risk to inflation, and particularly as to whether... this current increase could persist somewhat more than we expect it to. We don’t expect it to actually, but could it?
