Leave leaders back Mark Carney and George Osborne amid fallout

The leaders of the campaign to get Britain out of the European Union sought to ease concerns about the country’s uncertain economic future by giving public backing to Bank of England governor Mark Carney and finance minister George Osborne.

In the run-up to last week’s referendum, Mr Carney and Mr Osborne incensed Leave campaigners by warning a vote to pull out would hit the economy.

Mr Carney faced a call for his resignation from one lawmaker from the ruling Conservative Party during the campaign, and last week the official Vote Leave campaign released a video attacking him over his previous employment with Goldman Sachs.
