EU referendum: Gove and Osborne exchange blows over trade

Michael Gove has clashed with cabinet colleague George Osborne after he said the UK could pull out of the EU's single market without damaging trade.
The justice secretary said the UK would not be "punished" for leaving the EU by having tariffs placed on its exports.
He said he could "not imagine" Germany putting up trade barriers which would threaten their own imports into the UK.
But the chancellor said this would be a "catastrophe" in terms of lost jobs and could "wreck the economy".
He also warned of a "significant shock" to the housing market in the event of the UK leaving the EU.

Brexit vote may spark recession, Mark Carney warns

The Bank of England has given its starkest warning yet that a UK vote to leave the EU could hit the economy.
Mark Carney, the Bank's governor, warned that the risks of leaving "could possibly include a technical recession".
Prime Minister David Cameron said the warning amounted to "a very clear message" of the dangers of Brexit.

IMF says Brexit 'pretty bad to very, very bad'


Christine Lagarde

Christine Lagarde rejected claims that the Treasury had influenced the IMF's report
The International Monetary Fund chief has said a vote by the UK to leave the European Union would have "pretty bad, to very, very bad" consequences.
Christine Lagarde said she had "not seen anything that's positive" about Brexit and warned that it could "lead to a technical recession".
She echoed similar comments made on Thursday by Bank of England governor Mark Carney.
Vote Leave said the IMF had been wrong in the past and were "wrong now".
The IMF said in a report on the UK economy that a leave vote could have a "negative and substantial effect". It has previously said that such an outcome could lead to "severe regional and global damage".
Ms Lagarde said the Fund had a duty to assess the risks of Brexit. It has a mandate to oversee the international monetary and financial system.
Brexit was not just a domestic issue but an international one as well, she told a briefing at the Treasury attended by the Chancellor, George Osborne.

EU referendum: Cameron, Corbyn and Johnson hit campaign trail - as it happened

Biggest day of campaigning for EU referendum yet

Speaking at an event in Bristol, Boris Johnson described the leave campaign as “little platoons against the big battalion”, adding: “We are David and Goliath and we know what happened to Goliath.” He insisted that the UK “would prosper and thrive as never before” outside the union.
David Cameron warned that a vote to leave the EU would be a vote “potentially for a recession”, as the remain campaign claimed leaving would cost every household £4,300.
Tory MP and the grandson of Winston Churchill, Nicholas Soames, accused Johnson of “fundamentally dishonest gymnastics” for criticising a planned multibillion pound EU-US trade deal that he previously lauded as “Churchillian” for its brilliance.
Jeremy Corbyn said that responsibility for many of Britain’s problem lay not with Brussels but Downing Street. His comments are seen as a response to concerns within the Remain camp that they are encountering significant hostility to the EU on the doorstep in traditional Labour-voting areas.
Britain Stronger In Europe held a claimed 1,000 events across the UK and encouraged remain campaigners to hold Eurovision Song Contest-themed parties on Saturday night to promote the reasons why Britain should stay in the EU.
Vote Leave claimed that staying in the EU would cost every household £4,600.

After Brexit: Roadmap for a leap in the dark

By Alastair Macdonald
BRUSSELS, May 31 (Reuters) - Dawn, Friday, June 24. The votes are in. The British have spoken in their EU membership referendum and they want out. It is a scenario European leaders are now planning for in earnest while praying it never happens.
Secret meetings in Brussels and across Europe reveal huge uncertainty, officials and diplomats familiar with the proceedings say, over what would follow a vote that British Prime Minister David Cameron calls a "leap in the dark" -- and also no little concern about what happens if Britain stays on.
This is a rough roadmap to Europe after June 23, based on conversations with many diplomats and officials, few of whom speak of it in public for fear of inflaming debate in Britain:

EU referendum live: Cameron and Corbyn make case for Remain – separately

There is a class division on Brexit, with the working class largely in favour of the UK leaving the EU and those in highly paid in professions generally wanting to stay in. And yet the question of what material effects the EU has had upon working class people’s lives has been largely absent. It is imperative that these issues are debated so that working class people can make an informed decision when casting their vote.
