Isn't this where we came in?

The last time I heard Izzard describing himself, Burneside, was as someone who is 109 years old but with the mind of a perpetual 22 year old. Painting such pictures with words (often in three languages) makes him the great thinker and artist that he is. IMO. #StandUpForEurope

Perhaps. But Farage, with his lips to the dog whistle, will have done much to persuade many to the Remain camp.

You forgot to mention Scotland Roberta, where EU membership is worth £2bn per year.

But, while it is ...

Well Burneside, having had inter-leaved leaflets through the door yesterday from the Brexit bunch, it is clear to me that a win for the vote leave campaign would lead to UKIP's influence continuing to rise up the political agenda. The country should not be lulled into thinking that a result to quit the EU would be the last anyone would hear from Nigel Farage and his divisive disciples.

MP Dr Sarah Wollaston was in the Brexit camp because she was critical of David Cameron's performance in gaining concessions from the EU. If anyone is dim-witted it is our Prime Minister, who set himself up for a fall by raising expectations of successful negotiations - but then returning with a basket half-empty. But the referendum issue is much wider than a leadership popularity contest ...

Your right Lynne. Family rifts will be difficult enough - the Tory party's seem terminal. But will UKIP become the dominant force in English politics in a post-Brexit world? Scarey thought...
