Boris Johnson using Brexit campaign to become PM, accuses Cameron

The EU was “yesterday’s game”, she said, insisting Britain had a “superb future ahead” trading with countries outside the 28-nation bloc.

“The last couple of hours and the whole campaign is the contrast between this side offering hope and that side offering nothing but fear about life outside”, he said.

Johnson was joined in the pro-Brexit camp by Labour lawmaker Gisela Stuart, herself a German immigrant, and by Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom, Rudd’s subordinate.

Angela Eagle has given a strong hint that she wants to be Labour leader, telling Boris Johnson to “beware of the blonde bombshell”.

He said: “That did not happen in the re-negotiation”.

“Get that lie off your bus”, Ms Eagle said. “There has got to be democratic consent for the scale of the flows that we are seeing.” he said.

He said: “Working people across the United Kingdom face a double threat if we vote to Leave: a massive black hole in the public finances, and an unfair Tory government that will make ordinary families pay for it through further cuts and tax rises. Take back control on June 23 and we will prosper as never before”.

“It’s something I have long talked about as well and we do have to respond to people’s concerns on immigration”. “It is completely unacceptable”.

He is expected to say that the Brexit campaign’s focus on immigration, including the controversial claim that remaining in the European Union could hand Turkey’s 75 million population the right to settle in Britain, has made people from ethnic minorities feel insecure, The Times reported.

Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin said the vote to change electoral rules during the campaign was “on the cusp of legality”.

Leadsom backed the figure, arguing it represents the fee before money comes back in an EU-controlled rebate.

Audience member Yasmin told him: ‘I’m voting Remain, but [it’s] nothing to do with guys, I hate the Tories, I’m just going to say you’ve f***ed every f***ing thing up in this country, you’ve screwed students, you’ve screwed the disabled, the vulnerable.

She said: “Yes, it causes pressure on services but the answer is to invest in public services”.

In the opening clash on immigration numbers, she turned on Johnson, saying: ‘I fear that the only number that Boris is interested in is the one that says No 10’.

Ms Sturgeon nearly laughed off the suggestion.

Nicola Sturgeon. On Sovereignty “A vote to leave is not a vote for independence the United Kingdom, like France and Germany is already independent”.

And in her summing up, Eagle rammed home the jobs and employment rights she claimed would suffer from Britain quitting the EU.

However, Johnson also took the chance to repeat Sturgeon’s own criticism of the Remain campaign. “I am very confident we can stand on our own two feet”.

Nicola Sturgeon spoke openly about the economy: “If we’re not in the single market, it is harder for companies to export due to their goods and services get more expensive, and imports coming here get more expensive, which puts prices up as well”.

Ms Sturgeon outlined her priorities to Holyrood last month after she was re-elected to lead a reduced minority Scottish Government.

The Scottish first minister described it as a “scandal” that Johnson’s Vote Leave campaign bus still has the controversial claim that Britain sends £350m a week to Brussels emblazoned on the side of it.
