United Kingdom minister grilled over Brexit claims
Members of the audience pressed him on topics ranging from social services to United Kingdom security in a heated discussion.
This movement in betting odds comes as Tory MPs are starting to make public threats against Cameron’s leadership over the deeply divisive issue of Britan’s European Union membership.
“As our population grows, and as we all live for longer, so the pressures on the NHS are set to grow”, they said.
“It would be madness to try to do that by trashing our economy and pulling out of the single market”.
The interviewer, Faisal Islam, repeatedly challenged the prime minster as to why the government was failing to meet its target of reducing net annual migration below 100,000.
“There has been a sustained gamble on David Cameron being out of office before the end of this year ever since he confirmed the date of the EU Referendum”, said William Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe in an email to Business Insider. It is vital to the success of our businesses. “The European Union doesn’t stop existing just because we left, the Channel doesn’t get any wider if we decide to leave”.
Mr Cameron underlined his frustrations with Brussels, telling the newspaper: ” You’ve got people who are p***** off with some of things it has done.
Borrowing a stereotype often used by Scottish Nationalists, Mr Gove claimed a negative and “sneering” Remain campaign was trying to claim the United Kingdom was “too small, too poor, and too stupid”. “I think people in this country have had enough of experts!” he insisted, a minute later.
He said tumbling out of the single market “would be an act of economic self-harm”, and rebuffed claims that he was scaremongering. But we need to vote for it. If Labour stays at home, Britain leaves. “Are we quitters?… Absolutely not”. “To me, that’s what it’s all about”.
And negotiations to put them in place would begin immediately after Brexit, he said.
Two of the campaign’s leading figures, Justice Secretary Michael Gove and former London Mayor Boris Johnson, pledged to introduce an Australian-style points-based system if Britain is freed from Brussels’s open borders commitments, ensuring that migrants to the country are awarded visas on merit, not nationality.
Opponents criticised Gove’s performance for lacking detail of Britain’s future after a leave vote.
The Prime Minister defended the Remain campaign’s tactics – branded Project Fear by critics – including the use of a claim that the United Kingdom would be £4,300 a household worse off as a result of Brexit.
“If our country is poorer, then our households are going to be poorer”.
The joint letter argued that the European Union has delivered “significant benefits” for working people, including more jobs, protections at work, and lower prices.
He added that a vote to leave would spark “an inevitable, unavoidable race to the bottom”.
Leaders of some of Britain’s biggest firms have warned the UK’s service sector will be damaged by Brexit, with Chancellor George Osborne saying as many as 400,000 jobs could be lost. “Can we be so confident that we’ve solved all of Europe’s problems and all of Europe’s tensions?”
