JOHN MCDONNELL said yesterday that Labour must rescue the EU referendum debate from the “project fear” tactics being peddled by David Cameron and Boris Johnson.
In a speech at the TUC, the shadow chancellor said the campaign so far has “brought out the worst in Westminster” because it’s been dominated by warring wings of the Tory Party.
He said: “In campaigning on this issue the first thing I hear on the doorstep when discussing the EU referendum is that the level of debate so far has been very negative on both sides and that what people want are the facts and real vision from their politicians. I think they are right.
