One of the leading lights of the Brexit campaign has been forced into an embarrassing u-turn after stating the United Kingdom would remain in the European Union until at least 2020.

At least 50 MPs – the number needed to call a confidence vote – were on the same train, Bridgen revealed, adding that a vote on the prime minister’s future was “probably highly likely” after the referendum.

Under Mr. Cameron, migration levels have been running at twice that figure.

First time buyers, who generally have lower value loans, could face paying £810 more annually.

The Leave campaign’s funding claim came in a statement from Mr Gove, Conservative MP Boris Johnson and Labour’s Gisela Stuart, who chairs the Leave campaign.

The Q&A comes after Daily Star Online revealed six infamous “half-truths” told by politicians during the Brexit debate.

He also sought to allay fears among some in the audience that more migrants could enter Britain if Turkey were to join the bloc, saying “at this rate they’ll join in the year 3000”.

“Doctors and nurses want to stay in Europe because they understand that quitting the single market would damage the NHS by shrinking the economy”, he said. “And we can ensure that the wealthy interests that have rigged the European Union rules in their favour at last pay their fair share”.

Merkel cited trade and the single market as key reasons for the Britain to stay in, backing the economic arguments made by bodies such as the International Monetary Fund. Campaigners for leaving argue that the country can continue doing business freely with the European Union and reach favourable free-trade deals with the rest of the world once out of the EU.

“This will give priority to people with the skills Britain needs”, the manifesto stated.

“They say they need more integration, more of our money, more control over this country”.

But Mr Cameron replied: “I don’t accept it is scaremongering”.

“I think instead of the pessimism of the Remain campaign we have an opportunity to think of the next generation”.

Around 16 percent of London’s insurance business comes from European Union countries other than Britain, or 9.6 billion pounds ($13.8 bln), the International Underwriting Association of London (IUA), Lloyd’s of London, and Fidelis Insurance said in a joint paper.

A day after David Cameron set out the case for a Remain vote in a Sky News debate, Mr Gove hit back by accusing the Prime Minister of a “depressing” attempt to scare voters into staying in the EU.

And a vote to leave is a vote for a profound and permanent loss the whole country would feel, whether through lost jobs or lost generations.

“I really don’t think that Angela Merkel telling the British people how they should vote in a democratic referendum in three weeks time will affect anyone’s vote”, she said.
