Peace and democracy in Europe; prosperity and consumer choice; freedom to live anywhere in Europe: these are not projects of elites, still less a plot against the people.

Brexiteers need to explain themselves on economy, EU spending, trade, crime and more - but have so far failed to do so.

Vote Leave boss bases his argument on false premise that US doesn’t pool sovereignty, when it does. Heard of NAFTA and WTO?

The notion that the UK would have more say on environmental policy outside the EU is fanciful.

Vote Leave’s latest promise is to scrap VAT on energy. It has already committed the non-existent £350m/week to NHS, farmers etc.

Many Brexiteers claim to care about Gibraltar, Northern Ireland, and union with Scotland. But quitting the EU would undermine all three.

By threatening a “neverendum”, the Leave side undermines its professed respect for plebiscites.

Contrary to the Leave camp’s claims, there would be no attractive trading options for the UK outside the EU.

Pro-Brexit claim that EU membership could jeopardise UK’s UN Security Council place is pure myth.

UK parliament can decide most of the things that voters really care about - such as how to run the NHS, schools and army.

That’s just one way in which the younger generation will bear the brunt of quitting EU. All the more pity that many won’t vote.

Boris does the EU wrong by misreading its role in Bosnia and Ukraine.
