David Cameron is now having to face questions on what he would do if, as looks far more likely than he would have liked at this stage, Britain votes to leave the European Union. As James predicted in his cover piece this week, Cameron will have to row back on predictions that he made about Brexit putting a bomb under the economy in order to calm nerves in the event of a Leave vote. But with the polls the way they are, the Prime Minister is already having to answer questions about whether he really believes his own warnings now, as he did on this morning’s Marr Show.
Cameron can wait to worry about turmoil in the event of Brexit. But as this morning’s interview showed, his more immediate worry about his own predictions is that people already don’t believe them and have switched off from Project Fear.
