Many supporters of the Brexit’s right-wing populism are less fortunate, and frequently takers from society, rather than contributors. Many take benefits and public services for granted.

It is time to wake up. The risks are real and they will become reality, hurting ordinary people and their familes.

The economic case against Brexit is clear.

However, I think that is now time for the Remain team to lead on sovereignty and effective controls of immigration. The Brexit arguments about sovereignty are quaint, dated and shallow. Immigration must be controlled effectively from within Europe.
