  1. Leave and Remain MPs head to head on the Sunday Politicspublished at 11:43 British Summer Time 12 June 2016

    Remain and Leave supporters get to cross-examine each other on the Sunday Politics.

    Labour Remain campaigner Mary Creagh asks Chris Grayling which workers' rights he would scrap if the UK left the EU.

    The Conservative Leave campaigner insists the UK has "always been better" than the EU on workers' rights.

    Ms Creagh then argues that the UK trades more with the Republic Ireland than with the whole of the Commonwealth put together, yet leaving the EU would mean ending free movement over the border with Northern Ireland.

    Chris Grayling rejects this claim, telling Ms Creagh there has been a common travel area between the UK and Ireland and there is "no reason for that to change".

    Employment Minister Priti Patel, who backs Leave, tells Pienaar's Politics on 5live that the claim that Brexit risks pensions is "fear on steroids".

    "We've had months and months of regular levels of  fear, now this has sort of been amplified," she says.

    "But what I don't understand with this, is effectively the prime minister is undermining our own manifesto promise on pensions, the triple lock, and in terms of protecting bus passes, TV licences, all the things that I campaigned for in the general election. They were clearly in our manifesto."

    Conservative cabinet member and Leave campaigner Chris Grayling says the UK buys "far more from Europe than they do from us".

    He tells the Sunday Politics that the Remain campaign's claims on the economy and public finances contain "inherent contradictions and some assumptions of doom and gloom".

    Wikileaks founder Julian Assange says he is "pretty much" in favour of Brexit.

    Mr Assagne tells Robert Peston that the referendum debate divides into four camps. There is a right-wing "in" campaign that is "a vote for the empire", he says, while "right out is a vote for the old empire".

    Meanwhile, "left out" says "another world is possible" and left out says "another world is not really possible at all".

    And he attacks "vulgar transatlanticists from Hillary Clinton to Hilary Benn" who, he claims, believe their power base depends on the UK being the US's "man" in the EU.

    "One of Tony Blair’s closest allies has warned he will quit the shadow cabinet if Jeremy Corbyn insists on calling the former prime minister a war criminal when the Iraq inquiry reports," the Sunday Times, external says.

    "Baron Falconer of Thoroton, the shadow justice secretary, has told fellow frontbenchers he will have to resign after the Chilcot report is published on July 6 if Corbyn calls for Blair to face a war crimes trial.

    "The Labour leader has previously suggested that Blair should be in the dock, and aides say he is prepared to repeat that claim when the 2.6 million-word report is finally released."

    While we await the publication of the Chilcot Report, Labour's John McDonnell says his former leader Tony Blair is "almost a Shakespearean tragic figure".

    The shadow chancellor says Mr Blair's work on the Northern Ireland peace process was "heroic".

    If the former PM "had stopped there", Mr McDonnell says, "he would have gone down in history as a peace-maker".

    Instead, "Iraq happened" and destroyed that, he argues.

    ITV

    On his Sunday morning show, Robert Peston is joined by Vote Leave's Suzanne Evans and Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson, who backs Remain.

    Ms Davidson denies that the PM's warning over public services shows he is "panicking".

    "People have a right to know the consequences of voting either way," she argues.

    Ms Evans says it is "not true" that every economist agrees that a Brexit would have negative consequences.

    She calls the latest argument another "vindictive, bullying attempt" by Remain to scare voters.

  18. Leave negotiations would 'suck the energy out of our government' PM sayspublished at 10:06 British Summer Time 12 June 2016

    The Andrew Marr Show

    Andrew Marr asks David Cameron if, should he lose the referendum but stay as prime minister, he would enact Leave campaign policies such as an "Australian-style" points system for immigration.

    Mr Cameron says his government would obey a Leave vote in the referendum but he would still believe it was not "the right course for our country". Negotiations over leaving the EU, trade and other matters would "suck the energy out of our government", he adds.

    The PM says that a voter worried about immigration should still vote to Remain. "Leaving the single market would be a massive mistake for our economy," he argues, and "you don't control immigration" by creating unemployment.

    He dismisses warnings from the Leave side about Turkey joining the EU as "a complete red herring". There is no prospect of it happening for  "decades", he insists.

  19. Cameron: Fall in pound leads to higher pricespublished at 09:53 British Summer Time 12 June 2016

    The Andrew Marr Show

    David Cameron speaking to Andrew Marr

    David Cameron reacts to Nigel Farage's lack of concern about a fall in the pound after a Brexit. Mr Farage said "so what?" and suggested UK exports would be cheaper.

    "If the pound falls, the prices in our shops will go up," the prime minister says, claiming that other costs such as air fares would also increase.

    He says that, rather than scaremongering, it would be "irresponsible" not to warn voters about the risks of leaving the EU.

    Andrew Marr suggests that Remain's message could be seen as: "Vote to stay or the puppy gets it."

    But the PM disagrees, insisting his argument is optimistic. It's about opportunities for young people and the strength of the UK, he adds.

    David Cameron speaking to Andrew Marr

    It is David Cameron's turn to be questioned by Andrew Marr now.

    The prime minister starts by defending his warning over pensions and public spending. 

    "In the single market we get free access to 500m consumers," the PM says, meaning that leaving the EU is "going to impact our economy".

    Quote Message

    If we restrict our access, we will be worse off and that obviously affects what we would spend on public services."
