UK PM speaking to the BBC this morning following yesterday's referendum date presser.

Cameron has understandably been keen to start on the front foot and he's been quick out of the blocks this morning.

  • UK would be stronger and safer in the EU and needed to be in to influence decisions
  • leaving the EU would not stem the flow of migrants coming to UK
  • UK would still have to contribute financially to the EU, even if it left
  • leaving the UK would give an "illusion of sovereignty" but not full control

"We are going to set out in the coming days proposals... to make clear that British parliament is sovereign " Cameron told the BBC but refused to give further details further details.

Cameron has also been urging Tory talisman Boris Johnson to back him. An Ipsos MORI poll showed Johnson, 51, is second only to Cameron when it comes to swaying public opinion on Europe. One in three voters said Johnson would be important in helping them decide which way to vote, the poll showed.

"The prospect of linking arms with Nigel Farage and George Galloway and taking a leap into the dark is the wrong step for our country and if Boris, and if others, really care about being able to get things done in our world then the EU is one of the ways in which we get them done."

So far Johnson has yet to declare his intentions but is widely touted to join the Leave campaign and due to publish his views in his regular Telegraph newspaper column due to be published at 22.00 GMT today

Will Cameron and Johnson be going in the same direction still come tomorrow?
