Not all the mainstream media are worried about a recession

Posted on

I was booked to be on Sky News at 7.20 this morning. The booking was made last night and the timing was confirmed late in the evening, as usual. The subject was, of course, the Bank of England's interest rate rises.

At 7 this morning I was cancelled. I was told another story had come up.

It hadn't. Instead, they gave the time to Charles Goodhart, a former Bank of England monetary policy committee member who argued for larger and quicker interest rate rises as if he cannot get to a recession quickly enough.

I would, of course, have argued the exact opposite.

I am told by Sky I will be on again soon.

I will not be changing my mind. Charles Goodhart is totally wrong. And Sky and the people of this country needed the alternative view to that from the Bank of England that we will be hearing all day.

Maybe Sky should be reading the Guardian.
