Ex-Conservative Party chair switches sides on EU referendum

On the day Cox died, Farage had unveiled a poster showing a column of refugees, with the headline “Breaking Point”.

The “Leave” and “Remain” sides have now battled each other to a stalemate with each on exactly 50 percent support, according to an average of the last six polls calculated by research site What UK Thinks. “The ending of this story, whether happy or not, will be written by us”. “We would be safer taking back control”.

Even in founder nations like the Netherlands and France, anti-EU groups are gaining in strength from year to year and in new eastern members like Poland and Hungary, the anti-EU streak has also been increasing. “Without you, not only Europe, but the whole western and transatlantic community will become weaker”, Tusk said.

Told the people were refugees, he said: “You don’t know that – they are coming from all over the world”.

He told reporters at an EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg: “All Europeans are looking to the British people, because we have – history reminds us – a long life in common”.

But the Social Democratic leader says there’s no reason to panic. “What we saw was an act of terrorism”. “But it doesn’t mean any collapse, panic or chaos in Sweden”.

However, while a large proportion of Europeans think Brexit could hurt the EU, an equally large proportion think the union will be largely unaffected, with a majority believing it will have little impact on their own country.

“I’m not a lover of the European Union. The picture was real, the picture was on the front pages of all our national press past year”.

In its online edition, the paper’s political editor PM Nilsson lists things he believes Sweden and the United Kingdom have in common, from similar tastes in music to a belief in free trade and that “meetings should start on time”.

Nilsson wrote in English that “we are all like you – proud and headstrong with special relationships to each other”. And we have a club. The Observer and the Mail on Sunday endorsed staying within the bloc.

Asked to comment on Mr Cameron’s tweet, the Ukip leader said: “I think there are Remain camp supporters out there who are using this tragic death to try to give the impression that this isolated horrific incident is somehow linked to arguments that have been made by myself or Michael Gove or anybody else in this campaign and frankly that is wrong”.

He added that Brussels needs “to make sure that the European Union works for all its people going forward and addresses the concerns of ordinary people”.

Because no one can foresee what the long-term consequences would be, ‘ Mr Tusk said.

The “leave” campaign lost the support of a former Conservative Party chair, who switched sides Monday after expressing disgust for a poster depicting a crowd of migrants – mostly young men who appeared to be from the Middle East or Afghanistan – walking throughEurope.

A spokesman for the Vote Leave campaign told the newspaper: “We don’t remember Warsi ever joining our campaign so we are puzzled by her claims to have defected”.
