It’s too long for a tweet, so here are some comments on Michael Gove’s statement on why he’s voting Leave. It’s full of half-truths and exaggerations and I’m amazed it’s been seen as a “flying start for leave”. EU decisions are taken by ministers of member states and the European Parliament, both of whom can be thrown out by their voters. Sure, they can’t be thrown out by British voters alone, but then the voters of Liverpool can’t throw out the UK Government on their own either.
