The fundamentals of our economy are strong: wages are growing, employment is at a record high and the unemployment rate is at a historic low. The economy has grown every year since 2010 and the IMF forecast that it will grow faster than Germany, Italy and Japan this year, and as fast as France.

It is vital that we bring certainty and that's why we must leave on 31 October under any circumstances.
