I rule nothing out.” Those in favour of Brexit argued Mr Cameron is not aiming high enough, such as restricting workers’ movement and giving national parliaments a veto over EU law. In a letter to the CBI, Mr Cummings said: “The CBI claims that eight out of 10 British businesses want to remain in the EU – but the poll it commissioned to make this claim is being investigated by the British Polling Council, who have already called it ‘pretty dodgy’.” Vote Leave believes that far more businesses would happily exit the EU than has been suggested.
