What the papers say – November 29
Brexit is back on the front pages on Thursday after the Bank of England warned of the consequences of Britain leaving the EU without a deal.
The Times carries a picture of BoE governor Mark Carney, who said Britain was not ready for a no-deal Brexit, with the bank warning house prices could fall by 30% and interest rates rise by 5.5% in the worst case scenario.
