#Davesdodgydeal – Cameron is selling a lie and getting away with it

He promised to fundamentally change the UK’s relationship with the EU, repatriating powers and achieving …

Compared to Scottish independence Brexit is easy

We at the Leave Alliance don’t like to spend too much time focusing on number crunching when it comes to building a case for leaving the EU. All of this pointless hot air about how each British family can “save £933” isn’t going to get us anywhere. The figures are …
