Andrew Kennedy: Cameron promised this referendum. He has delivered it. He has never concealed his view. So stop complaining.

Richard Graham: Labour and the SNP will break their promises on women’s pensions

Lord Ashcroft: “Would we need a passport to go to Belfast?” – my Brexit focus groups in Dublin

Steve Baker: A vote to Remain would be a vote to endorse the Lisbon Treaty

It was an affront to democracy when Brown signed the Treaty, giving away powers without a referendum. Now we have the chance to take back control.

Lord Ashcroft: The renegotiation was meant to build support for Remain – it may have done the opposite
