Obama repeats his call for the UK to stay in EU

The US president has been talking to the BBC on a variety of topics and he's not missed the chance to put a word in, again, for the UK's continuing EU membership

Speaking to the BBC's North America editor Jon Sopel, he said the EU "made the world safer and more prosperous".

Adding

• the UK was America's "best partner" because of its willingness to project power beyond its "immediate self-interests to make this a more orderly, safer world".

• The UK must stay in the European Union to continue to have influence on the world stage

• the UK's EU membership "gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union".

Suffice to say there's a few UK politicians telling him to keep his nose out of our affairs
