| Vote Leave has published a series of graphics highlighting what it claims is the cost of staying in the EU. | |
| Vote Leave chief executive Matthew Elliott said: | |
| David Cameron ... is failing to be honest with hardworking families about the costs of the EU. We hand £50 million to Brussels every day while EU regulations undermine our economy, democracy and borders. On 23 June it is safer to take control and Vote Leave.” | |

| Boris Johnson - figurehead of the leave campaign - will be speaking in the south west today, while the Grassroots Out campaign is mounting a nationwide blitz with events including a rally in Chester addressed by Conservative former cabinet minister Owen Paterson and Ukip migration spokesman Steven Woolfe. | |
| Mr Paterson will say: “If we vote to remain, we will be consigning ourselves to being a colony of an EU superstate, with more integration and increasingly diminished British influence. If we vote Leave, we will be making the safer choice, and securing the future freedom and prosperity of this region and the UK at large. | |

| 'Lies in 10 Downing Street, not in Brussels' - Corbyn | |
| Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is trying to rally support among Labour voters to stay in the EU. He will launch a highly partisan attack on the Conservatives, saying responsibility for many of the UK’s problems “lies in 10 Downing Street, not in Brussels”. His comments are likely to be 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. | |
| Corbyn - who for many years opposed EU membership - will highlight the importance of European regulations in underpinning workers’ rights, which would be jeopardised by a Leave vote: | |
| People in this country face many problems: from insecure jobs, low pay and unaffordable housing to stagnating living standards and environmental degradation, and the responsibility for them lies in 10 Downing Street, not in Brussels. The Tories and Ukip are on record as saying they would like to cut back our workplace rights and many unscrupulous employers would have our rights at work off us if they had the chance.” | |

| Another day, another warning about Brexit from the government, with David Cameron saying that leaving the European Union will cost Britain billions of pounds in infrastructure investment. The prime minister said a vote to leave would mean an end to Britain’s membership of the European Investment Bank (EIB) which has poured more than £16bn into UK projects in the past three years. | Another day, another warning about Brexit from the government, with David Cameron saying that leaving the European Union will cost Britain billions of pounds in infrastructure investment. The prime minister said a vote to leave would mean an end to Britain’s membership of the European Investment Bank (EIB) which has poured more than £16bn into UK projects in the past three years. |
| Vital projects across every region of the UK have been financed by the EIB. Not only would leaving the EU see us wave goodbye to this crucial funding - but, with a smaller economy hit by new trading barriers and job losses, it’s unlikely we’d be able to find that money from alternative sources.” | |
| The projects that have benefited from EIB support include new trains for the east coast main line, extending the M8 motorway between Edinburgh and Glasgow, and expanding Oxford University’s research and teaching facilities. | The projects that have benefited from EIB support include new trains for the east coast main line, extending the M8 motorway between Edinburgh and Glasgow, and expanding Oxford University’s research and teaching facilities. |
