  5. Recap of Friday's politicspublished at 22:52 British Summer Time 27 May 2016

    A round-up of the latest developments in the EU referendum campaign and other news making the political headlines:

    • A committee of MPs rebuked both sides of the EU referendum campaign, accusing them of peddling "misleading" figures and "implausible assumptions"
    • The Treasury Select Committee said Vote Leave's claim that Brexit would save £350m a week was "deeply problematic", and that Remain's claims families would be worse off by £4,300 a year if Britain quit the EU were "mistaken" and had "probably confused" voters
    • PM and Remain campaigner David Cameron rejected claims he is a "closet Brexiteer" and insisted he is "passionate" about staying in the EU. Vote Leave's Boris Johnson, former London mayor, told him it was "not too late" to join the Leave campaign
    • Vote Leave, which is campaigning for an EU exit, launched a contest to win £50m - if you can correctly predict the result of all 51 games in the Euro 2016 football championships
    • Alex Salmond was urged to quit the campaign to keep the UK in the EU "before he does any more damage" - but an SNP spokesman said the former party leader made an "outstanding" case for the UK's continued membership
    • Former Tory party chairman Lord Patten accused Boris Johnson of not understanding "the difference between fact and fiction". Vote Leave hit back, saying it was "sad to see the level of debate 'Remainers' have been reduced to"
    • A declaration at the G7 meeting in Japan said a vote by the UK to leave the EU would pose a "serious threat to global growth"
    • UK intelligence agencies said they were recruiting more female staff - and are targeting middle-age and "mid-career" women for jobs
    • A leading polling expert said he would be very surprised if a majority of people over the age of 65 do not vote to leave the EU

  6. Lord Patten's criticism of Boris Johnson 'almost certainly synthetic' - Jacob Rees Moggpublished at 22:50 British Summer Time 27 May 2016

    Newsnight

    Speaking to BBC Newsnight, after Lord Patten's criticism of Boris Johnson, Conservative Leave campaigner Jacob Rees-Mogg said Lord Patten is "a great family friend" and a man of "enormous humour".

    "I think his anger is almost certainly synthetic. He's far too civilised a man, really to believe a lot of what he said to you in his earlier interview," he said.

    The MP said Lord Patten is trying to "bash down Boris to try and support the prime minister's position" on the EU, because he knows that Boris is "hugely popular and trusted across the country" and is making the case for an EU exit "exceptionally effectively".

    He added:

    Quote Message

    Lord Patten has always been a political showman. He's very good at the theatricals at politics and he's made an intervention that's in accord with that. He's also a passionate pro-European and always has been."

  10. Rees Mogg refuses to be drawn on whether £350m figure should be removed from Vote Leave buspublished at 22:11 British Summer Time 27 May 2016

    A cross-party group of MPs has strongly criticised both sides of the EU referendum debate for claims they have made during the campaign.

    Leave campaigner Jacob Rees Mogg, a member of the Treasury Committee which produced the highly critical report, said both sides had made "misleading" statements, but refused to be drawn on whether the £350m figure used by Vote Leave should be removed from the side of the bus.

    He told the Press Association:

    Quote Message

    I care nothing about the bus. I am not concerned about charabancs. That is not at the heart of the debate. I have always used the net figure. What is far more shocking is that the chancellor has been using a figure he knew would be misleading."

  11. 'UK needs to be in EU and Nato to stay safe' - Labour's Emily Thornberrypublished at 22:09 British Summer Time 27 May 2016

    The UK needs to be in both the EU and Nato to stay safe, Labour's shadow defence secretary Emily Thornberry has said, after a visit to the Nato headquarters in Brussels.

    Quote Message

    We have been told by Leave campaigners that the EU is irrelevant to British security, because Nato is the only alliance that counts. We have even heard arguments that the EU is undermining Nato. But, as Nato officials themselves have repeatedly made clear to me in the past two days, the EU and Nato are two sides of the same coin."

    Ms Thornberry added:

    Quote Message

    When it comes to territorial defence, Nato has always been the alliance that counts. That will not change. But the EU has a vastly different set of tools and capabilities, meaning that it too plays an indispensable role in keeping the British people safe.”

  12. Vote Leave 'saddened by level of debate Remain camp has been reduced to'published at 22:07 British Summer Time 27 May 2016

    We mentioned earlier that former Tory party chairman and pro-Remain Lord Patten had criticised Leave campaigner Boris Johnson, saying he did not seem to understand "the difference between fact and fiction".

    Vote Leave, the official group campaigning for an EU exit, has responded to Lord Patten's comments.

  13. How will Brexit affect the Great crested newt?published at 22:06 British Summer Time 27 May 2016

    Media caption,

    Chris Morris answers a listener's EU question.

    BBC Radio 4 PM listeners have a lot of questions about the European Union and the UK's referendum on whether to Leave or Remain.

    PM asked the BBC's Europe correspondent Chris Morris and assistant political Editor Norman Smith to answer a selection.

    Chris Morris answers Dave Bentley's EU question: "The Great crested newt is more common than the fox in the UK, yet it is a European Protected Species. Sites cannot be developed without jumping through expensive EU red tape hoops, which mean you have to try to catch every last newt. Will leaving the EU mean we can de-notify this species and arrange for a home-grown system for protecting ponds in the UK?"
