Brexit: Iain Duncan Smith accuses Cameron of deceiving the British public on immigration

Former Works and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who resigned from the Cabinet earlier this year, said that Prime Minister David Cameron had misled the British public on immigration

He hinted that a number of Conservative MPs had “stayed quiet” about wanting to leave the EU because they were concerned about their careers. 

“Who knows what will happen inside the polling booth. Maybe all of them will be voting to leave, having said they will remain,” he said when speaking to the media following Cameron’s interview on Sky News on Thursday.

“I know one thing for certain: all those ministers who say they are voting to leave, damn well will vote to leave. That’s the difference.”

He added that he suspects there is “quite a lot of pressure” from No. 10 for ministers to keep quiet. 

The ‘Leave’ campaign frontman Michael Gove will face the Sky News reporters and audience Friday evening.

Political commentators agreed that Gove had to persuade voters that everything the prime minister had said 24 hours earlier was europhile rubbish and that they should back Brexit.
