I have said from the very beginning that this European Union (EU) referendum matters more to me than anything else. The issue of who governs our country matters far more than party politics. Now that the official campaign has kicked off, it is important that all of us on the Leave side work together. I’ve already travelled the length and breadth of the UK sharing platforms with Conservative MPs such as Peter Bone, Liam Fox and David Davis. Just this week I shared a platform with Cabinet Minister Chris Grayling. Equally important however is the fact that I’ve also shared a platform with the likes of Labour’s Kate Hoey, George Galloway, and various figures from the trade union movement. On most issues we strongly disagree – but on this one issue, the most important issue of all, we stand together. The Leave side can only win if we have an effective ground campaign comprising of activists from across the political spectrum working together. I am delighted for instance that Kate Hoey was on this week’s Question Time and I’m also glad to be appearing on BBC Any Questions this week with Mick Cash, the General Secretary of the anti-EU RMT
