Will he ever reach this goal? He said: “Count me out.”if he was mounting “an worldwide rescue of the Labour campaign”.

The Vote Leave campaign said the audience’s skepticism “showed the public doesn’t trust Cameron”.

After the interview, came a series of questions from the audience.

“It would be madness to try to do that by trashing our economy and pulling out of the single market”.

Leaving the single market would be an “act of economic self-harm” for the United Kingdom, and might mean its steel industry and vehicle manufacturers facing tariffs to sell its products to Europe and its financial services sector seeing euro-linked business move to the continent, he said. She said: “He couldn’t make the case for Remain on immigration, the economic case, he just couldn’t make the case”. Are we quitters? Do we think we quit the European Union, we quit the single market and somehow we will be better off?

He denied that Vote Leave was running a “Project Lies” campaign, and said he was happy to allow independent auditors to test the widely-criticised claim.

Exports hit, the prospect of tariffs from other countries, and a blow to small firms would all be part of this “act of economic self-harm” – backed by major economic bodies.

Mr Cameron appeared riled after the studio audience laughed when Islam asked: “What comes first, World War Three or the global Brexit recession?”

The important thing, he said, was “we don’t have control of that money”.

‘No. We have to bring the party back together.

The message from the leader of Europe’s biggest economy and the continent’s most powerful nation risks a British backlash as she adds her backing to that of President Barack Obama and other world leaders for Prime Minister David Cameron’s campaign to stay in the EU.

“In such circumstances Labour communities would suffer most: from spending cuts, neglect for the needy and a bonfire of workers’ rights”. She pointed out that most of the world’s countries are outside of the European Union “and they are trading very happily”. Some of the most uncomfortable moments of the night. Under Mr. Cameron, migration levels have been running at twice that figure.

In a revealing insight into the views of his family, Cameron said his wife Samantha “sees the Leave argument as very backward-looking, trying to recreate something that isn’t there any more”.

Mr Cameron was challenged over immigration by retired NHS worker Alison Hyde-Chadwick, who demanded to know how the health service could be protected from “the seemingly never-ending stream of people from Europe”.
