Big D is speaking at a conference and on the back of yet another Tory bigwig calling for the UK to pull out of Europe.
Michael Portillo has been in the press today adding further pressure to the argument.
He sees the PM’s promise of an in-out referendum as an “insincere ploy”
On the vote he said,
I would vote No and fervently hope that the British have more guts than those who govern us, and more than those who govern us think we have
Portillo joins former UK chancellor Lord Lawson in calling for a pull out.
