AN MP has accused EU membership supporters of scaremongering people into thinking the UK needs to stay in the EU otherwise people will lose jobs.

While many British jobs depend on trade with Europe, leaving the EU would not see an end to trade, Shipley MP Philip Davies said.

Pro-EU campaigners are warning that three million jobs depend on EU membership but Mr Davies branded the suggestion that three million jobs depend on EU membership as “disgraceful and inaccurate scaremongering.”

“Nobody is advocating an end to free trade. These same EU fanatics said the British economy would be decimated if we didn’t join the Euro, so their ridiculous scaremongering has already been exposed once and we mustn’t allow them to get away with it again.”
