It might pain me to say it, but plenty of political interventions that we report on go unnoticed.

That's why this afternoon, talking to interested members of the public - not all Labour voters but interested parties nonetheless - who had turned up to hear the former PM Gordon Brown speak, it was striking that unprompted many of them mentioned they thought he might "do a Scotland".

In the Scottish referendum, Mr Brown - at the 11th hour - certainly did provide an injection of emotion on the unionist side at the end of a campaign that had focused on the economy and lacked a bit of passion.

The Republic of Ireland's Prime Minister, Enda Kenny, has told an audience in Belfast that a vote for the UK to leave the EU would be "a regrettable and backward step" for trade and relations with Northern Ireland.

"Later this month the people of Belfast, of Northern Ireland, of the UK as a whole, are being asked to make a momentous decision," the taoiseach said. "That decision is as important for the future of this island as when we all voted for the Good Friday Agreement."

"We are standing here today less than 50 miles from the United Kingdom's only land border," he told the audience at the University of Ulster. "Can anyone credibly suggest that nothing would change if that became the western border of the European Union?"

Mr Kenny said he would work to preserve the common travel area that allowed people to move freely but added: "It is difficult to imagine a situation where there would be no controls or checks on the movement of goods if the UK left the EU. Those who advocate for Leave simply cannot guarantee otherwise."

Earlier, Downing Street said David Cameron was "focused on the issue that is on the ballot paper" when asked if he was worried about the future of Western civilisation, following comments by European Council president Donald Tusk.

The prime minister's official spokeswoman added: "We will leave Donald Tusk to speak for himself. The prime minister has set out many times how he views the opportunities and risks for the United Kingdom."

European Council president Donald Tusk says a UK vote to leave the EU could threaten "Western political civilisation".
