The Leave campaign have had their best week of the campaign this week. After months of being battered by the Whitehall machine, they’ve taken advantage of purdah silencing government departments to get themselves onto the front foot.
As I write in The Sun this morning, even IN supporting Cabinet Ministers admit that Leave have had a good week. But they argue that they won’t be able to ride the immigration issue to victory on June 23rd. One argues that you can’t focus on immigration week after week, or ‘By week four, you end up sounding like Nigel Farage’.
But Vote Leave think their trump card is the link between immigration and people’s pay packets. That is the economic argument they are confident they will win. ‘What people want to know is what it will mean for their wages’, one influential member of Vote Leave tells me.
