EU In Or Out: The Key Claims Of Both Camps

Italy elections: Big wins for Five Star protest party

    The anti-establishment Five Star Movement has made big gains in Italy, winning mayoral races in Rome and Turin, early results show. Virginia Raggi will become Rome's first female leader, in a victory seen as a blow to Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and his centre-left Democratic Party (PD). PD has secured Italy's financial capital, Milan, and Bologna. The results could give anti-globalist Five Star a platform for parliamentary elections due in 2018, observers say. Italy local elections were held in two stages, with a first round a fortnight ago and the second round on Sunday. Ms Raggi, a 37-year-old lawyer who was little known just a few months ago, was on course to win two-thirds of the vote, defeating the PD candidate, Roberto Giachetti."I will be a mayor for all Romans.

David Cameron says he must do more to make case for staying in EU

    David Cameron has said he has four days left to make a better case to keep Britain in the EU as many voters remain confused about the referendum that will decide the fate of his leadership. The prime minister invoked the memory of Winston Churchill as he delivered an impassioned plea for Britain to be fighters, not quitters, when it comes to the EU. During a special edition of the BBC’s Question Time, he urged voters to listen to him and economic experts on the dangers of leaving the EU and argued that it would be “crazy” if people voted to leave in the belief that Turkey will join. The UK would not support Turkish accession in the next few years and it was unlikely to happen for decades, Cameron said. News and in-depth analysis on our dedicated EU referendum page With the...
