    Chancellor joins Sir Vince Cable and Ed Balls to warn that leaving the EU’s Single Market would be a 'one way ticket to a poorer Britain'.

    Visiting Ryanair’s new European Training Centre where he welcomed the firm’s plans to invest $1.4 billion (almost £1 billion) and create a further 450 highly-skilled jobs in the UK this year, the Chancellor highlighted the benefits that British businesses – including the aviation industry – and consumers receive from unhindered access to Europe’s single market and the catastrophic impact that leaving the EU would have on jobs, growth, and livelihoods.

    Addressing an audience of Ryanair staff and local business leaders alongside Sir Vince Cable and Ed Balls, the Chancellor also revealed new Treasury analysis showing that within fifteen years of leaving the Single Market, Britain would suffer from at least £200 billion less trade every year in today’s terms, and would miss out on at least £200 billion of overseas investment.(1)

    This double hit to the economy would feed through to British households in the form of fewer jobs, lower incomes and higher prices.

    The Chancellor also pointed to the mountain of credible, independent economic evidence that has been published in recent weeks making clear the case for Britain remaining a member of a reformed EU.

    With major interventions from both the Bank of England and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) joining a line of observers ranging from the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to the London School of Economics (LSE), to the leaders of every member of the G20, their unequivocal message has been the same: Britain and its people will be poorer if the UK left the EU.

    Chancellor George Osborne said yesterday:

    Today Vince Cable, Ed Balls and I are all in agreement that a vote to Leave the EU would be a one-way ticket to make Britain poorer and hurt working people.

    We’ve already heard the economic case from the likes of the Bank of England, the IMF, and even the President of the United States; all of our allies and trading partners are in agreement. The economic argument is beyond doubt - it’s not a conspiracy; it’s called a consensus.

    Our message is clear: Britain will be stronger, safer and better off in a reformed EU.

    The Treasury will shortly publish further analysis on the short-term implications for Britain’s economy of leaving the EU.

    I will be voting OUT and I urge anyone not sure to vote OUT, this is our only chance to stop others from telling us what to do ! we managed well enough before and we will again, please don’t take any notice of the doom and gloom brigade lets take control of OUR Country again.

    I will be voting OUT as well. We are heading for a United States of Europe without anyone having voted for it, and this European Super State will be effectively controlled from Berlin at the behest of the Bundestag. That's not being anti-German; it's being realistic and telling the truth. Handing over control of Britain's affairs is not exactly what our forefathers had in mind when they lay down their lives for this country's right to govern itself. Love him or loathe him, Boris is telling the truth on this one.

    Have you noticed how the Remain campaign are happy to tell us all the bad that will happen if we leave - but seem to be short on what good it would do us if we remain !!!!


    Remember if you vote out we will be hit by a meteor !!

    couldn't agree more with JohnBoy, having looked at both sides objectively. I`ve come to the conclusion that the only ones to gain by staying in are these politicians who get a handout from the EU. as my neighbour said, he fought in the last war for his country, not to be told what to do by Brussels

    May as well just toss a coin given that staying in and getting out seem to both result in certain doom if all the in/out propaganda is to be believed.

    We'll end up with a referendum where the future of the country for generations to come is decided by about 1/3rd of the electorate with voting based on little more than speculation as to what might happen rather than facts.

    Simply more negativity and scare tactics. I will vote leave.

  9. turbo2turbo says:17/05/2016 01:34 PM
    I'll be voting out also,

    I'm local taxi driver and have been asking everyone this question in or out for about 3 weeks now, and I have to say so far not had 1 customer saying they wish to stay in

    Had quite a few unsure but the majority want out

  10. Granvillen says:17/05/2016 02:50 PM
    I'm voting out, lets get control of our country back and then we can say who we want in and refuse them we don't. So come on guys and galls vote OUT on polling day.

    The Remain people can throw as many insults as they like. Along with their incessant scare tactics it will simply demonstrate the paucity of their argument. The Remain campaign have thrown the kitchen sink at this and still the polls are showing it too close to call. They can't have much of a convincing argument if it takes every Tom, Dick and influential Harry into persuading us that we should stay in this undemocratic charade. If it's really such a great idea to remain then they should be over the hill and far away with the public by now.

    If it's too close to call then doesn't doesn't it show that neither side has a convincing argument? Nobody can be certain what they are actually voting for.

    I think both sides have arguments. Whether they are convincing or not is open to conjecture. My point was that with all the major political parties and the overwhelming majority of business seemingly in favour of remaining in the EU then the Remain campaign should be streets ahead in the polls. Add the fact that Remain has infinitely more money to spend and it does rather beg the question as to where the consensus of public opinion would be if it was a level playing field.

    Strong views for both sides, but unbaised information on whether to stay in or leave you will never get, i'd say, "Vote with your heart for out, and your brain to remain"


    Some points to ponder:-


    Would Mr Nissan in the North East with 6,000 employees stay if unfettered access to the Single Market was taken away??


    Would we get the SAME access to the Single Market as now when not paying our Subs anymore?? I think not.


    And what about London, the centre of many a persons wrath. Sucking all the money out of everywhere else, the centre of Finance for the country. However whether people like it or not it provides 30% of the total GDP of the country. So putting that at risk is it a price worth paying?


    Many will say yes I am sure to get controll back of decisons, borders and all that. I tell you something most of our so called control went on VE day 1945!!

  16. abbeyroad says:18/05/2016 02:01 PM
    Not sure if I go along with the mantra about voting with your heart for Out and with your brain for Remain. What that implies is that people who intend voting Out are somehow clouded by emotion and have difficulty making a rational decision. Thankfully most of us are not like Mr Spock.
