Lord King takes direct aim at Mark Carney:
'It saddens me to see the Bank unnecessarily drawn into this project'
He quotes nobel prize winning @paulkrugman - who is 'no friend of Brexit' - but has described the Bank's worst-case scenario analysis as 'dubious' and 'questionable'

@paulkrugman Lord King: on Theresa May's Brexit deal:
'The country is entitled to expect something better than a muddled commitment to perpetual subordination from which UK cannot withdraw without agreement'

@paulkrugman Here's Lord King's damning concluding line. It's quite the article:
'If this Parliament bequeaths to its successors a choice between humiliating submission & abrogation of a binding international treaty, it will not be forgiven - and will not deserve to be'
