Business leaders urge Britain to stay in EU

“Business needs unrestricted access to the European market of 500 million people in order to continue to grow, invest and create jobs”, the document said.

More than a third of Britain’s biggest businesses came out in support of the Remain campaign in a letter today.

Some executives also signed it in a personal capacity, making clear that their companies remained neutral.

However, there were some notable absentees, including the bosses of Tesco and Barclays.

On Monday, Cameron told parliament that a vote to leave the European Union would be “a great leap into the unknown” at a perilous time for Britain and the West.

Admitting he was “disappointed” with his school chum’s decision, Mr Cameron pointed to his “experience over the last six years” as PM for the reasons behind his battle to keep Britain in the EU.

“The European Union has delivered protection for workers in Britain”, said Mr Corbyn, listing a workers’ rights including minimum paid leave protection, paid maternity and paternity leave, equal pay, anti-discrimination law and work force protection when companies change ownership.

In a major development a day after the June 23 referendum was called, the Mayor of London is expected to confirm he is joining seven other Cabinet ministers to rebel against the Prime Minister to back Brexit.

“On this issue, however, I think he has got it wrong'”.

Speaking outside his London home this morning, Boris insisted there was “no doubt” that the Conservative Party would “unite again around David Cameron’s leadership” once the referendum was over.

Carney acknowledged that uncertainty about the outcome was fueling instability for the pound, as the opposing sides in the European Union debate traded allegations about the economic impact of leaving, a prospect known as Brexit.

Announcing on Sunday his support for Britain leaving EU, Boris Johnson stressed for the media the idea of going through a second referendum as a demand for the Europarliament setting out better terms for UK.

“Numerous large multinational businesses like JCB, Toyota, Nissan, Vauxhall, Airbus among others have, over recent months, confirmed without pressure from the [prime minister], that Brexit would make no difference to their United Kingdom investment plans or United Kingdom job numbers”, said Richard Tice, co-founder of Leave.EU. Respect Party member George Galloway, a forceful backer of Brexit, has questioned the objectivity of how public broadcaster BBC will report on Brexit when it receives thousands of pounds in funding from the EU. “It would put the economy at risk”, they said.
